My pain is contagious, so don’t come any closer,
I don’t want you to suffer, as I must suffer.
I won’t let this pain, eat away at you too,
This is my cross to carry,
Don’t let it be a burden to you.
For one must hurt and two can’t suffer in silence.
For you to be free, I alone must go through this.
Keep your distance and I’ll keep my promises;
To keep you away from all this sadness.
Even though you and I, I wish could be,
I have to hurt you sooner rather than later,
To allow you to be free.
Please accept this as fact and please accept my apologies,
Accept this is the way, things have to be.
Accept you’re better off without me,
Please accept my best wishes
And deny any feelings you may feel.
For you can do better, have had better and are better,
You can avoid this sad sorrow, forever and ever.
You can find happiness, with someone who can be happy,
But I shall always get depressed, there is no cure for me.
Imagine a dark mist, seeping into your skin,
Then you will understand what it is like to be loved by me.
You can try all you like, to make me happy,
But I’m a cancer of the heart,
So I won’t drag you down with this sinking ship.
