Palms pressed flat against cold concrete I rest my heavy head between them Heartbeats echo against my eardrums Rhythmic, like a timer Fear of impending uncertainty chokes me I need to cry but have no tears Forgive me for this indecision I'm lost and confused in my own mind I love you, and my heart hurts I want to run, but I hold myself steady What's best for me isn't best for my soul It's the part of me that knows you best The point of impact when we connect The place where we met and never left I love you, and I hate this Why do I want more, when I have you? Why does the emptiness hurt this much When the alternative is simply more void? The hardest part of this whole situation Is the reason why I'm still here I love you and I'm stubborn as hell I'm not ready to give up on this
