The Ways to End

Losing you Like realizing you have no air Like falling into the deep cold ocean Like being trapped in the dark Like grabbing for life but finding nothing A part of me wants to To say day after day that I am fine To just put up with an image Even though its not what I want, I can manage Keeping everyone happy except one But if they are all happy, aren’t I? Walking over to end it Feels like an empty desert where I can't see the end Without water, without help I don’t think I will get through this on my own But I have to rely on myself The words stream through me head of how to say it I look into his eyes for the first time in months And every inch of me wants to turn around To forget what I felt, to just like him again I could never hurt him like I hurt the others I barely can utter hello before he realizes something is wrong Before he can ask, I have to start Everyone said I would have to free myself to be happy But getting there is drowning me in worry And as I speak the words, his face loses all happiness The last months were nice, But now they are meaningless memories. I cant bear to look at him any longer I feel like a monster And as I finish, I cant see a light at the end of the tunnel I just want to give him a hug and cheer him up But I know that wouldn’t help I just have to leave him alone And remember that I did this to him.
