Breaking Up

This is hard as hell,
but it has to be done.
The wheels have started turning,
I must finish what I have begun.
I know you think I don't understand.
I know you think I don't feel the pain.
But God knows I do, it's draped around
my shoulders like a heavy chain.
Don't try and send me for a guilt trip,
Don't yell and scream.
I still want to help you, be your friend,
I want to help you achieve your dream.
Please don't shut me out,
Listen to what I have to say.
Please don't hang up on me,
Dear God, please help her, I pray.
With tears streaming down my face,
I can't hide the pain.
It is dark and stormy and
It's so hard to hold a candle int eh cold November rain.

I hope you read this, and I hope you are able to deal with it. I hope you realize that this hurt me as much as it did you.
