It hurts in waves
the breaking of 'us'
You took something beautiful
now watch it rust
adorned in our tears or maybe just mine
You’ve gained freedom, I’ve gained time
I let you in,
Then watched you leave
Hoping with childlike naivety
You’d change your mind and come back to me
Your ‘necessary’ step is abandonment,
It tastes bitter, but I guess
suitable company for the ache in my chest
My heart protests, while my mind cannot
logic is useful, feelings are not
I’ve asked my questions, you’ve said your piece
I hope our departure grants you relief
