Could I forgive myself
If an accident were to happen?
Lines dividing right from wrong
Become blurry, overlapping.

On one hand is it really my place to make
The choice you're too weak to make on your own?
Can I break your heart with such ease
Then leave your pieces alone?

On the other hand I feel responsible
For your life, happiness, And well-being
Not adding positivity, we spiral down
It is for your sake I'm fleeing.

I am not running away out of fear
Never attempted a feat so brave
Saying goodbye is the most dreadful thing done yet
Hurt you because pain is what you need to be saved.
I know i have no right to tell you what is and isn't good for you but it seems this relationship isn't healthy for ME any longer as well as you. Even if you can't see it, I can.
