Heartbreak

Folder: 
2017

I know I am going to fuck this up.

It’s only a matter of time.

And I wish you would let me

hurt you now to save you from the pain later.

 

I don’t want to put a time limit on us

but I know the longer it goes

the hurt will get worse.

And I hate to see you cry.

 

I’m too selfish to leave

because that’s the last thing I want to do

but the rational part of me

knows it’s what I should do.

 

I would much rather be broken again

than break you.

Even though I’ve just started to put the pieces back together.

I’ll let you scatter them again

Just to save yourself from another heartbreak.
