My hands are shaking
silent tears streak down my cheek
trying to appear firm and strong
but feeling incredibly weak.
forming the words inside my head
the things i dont want to say
but knowing i have to get it out
i have to push you away.
things were bad before
not incredibly so
but now knowing the risk involved
i have no choice but to let you go.
i wont let you ruin your life for me
you have so much to live for
i cant just go on knowing this risk
its not something we can ignore.
so i sit across from you
knowing this time is the last
trying to work up the courage
to leave you in the past.
