I cannot lie
Not to them
I cannot pretend,
for it's cruel
I have to let go
Surrender myself
to the pain that comes
with moving forward
There is no going back
No return to gilded days of promise
Stagnation ruins all that there is
Falsehoods destroy all that there was
It is what is right
Yet feels so wrong
My eyes sore and puffy
from hours of shed tears
Is there a monster looking back
when I see myself in the mirror?
Have I made the wrong call?
To protect those I love...
Is letting go wrong?
Even though holding on would taint
all that has been shared
all the beauty that once was
Why do I feel a demon?
Their tears shatter my heart
I am mourning, too... it is all our pain to bear
Why do I feel so alone?
