I want to tell you how shattered I am.
I want to make you see
the pain engulfing me
but it’s not right.
I know you won’t turn me away
if I call to say what I need to say
but we can’t continue this way.
We are not a healthy match
I hold on to you, and once I latch
on I don’t know how to let go
or go back to how we were before
Nothing in me allows me to open up
to show you how shattered I am
but it’s ok, because you shouldn’t be burdened
with my unanswerable questions.
So I’m cutting myself
off from you and your support
and I’m killing
this friendship
because I want you to keep living when I say good bye.
