A Clean Break

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

I want to leave.

[That's a lie.]

 

I need to leave,

but I don't know

if I can.

 

I'm waiting for you 

to ruin me.

 

I'm waiting for you

to break my heart.

 

You touch my skin

and your fingers

burn through me.

 

Your embrace 

ties me in knots

until I'm wrapped tight.

 

I want to leave.

[That's a lie.]

 

I need to leave,

but I don't know

if I can.

 

What I need is 

a clean break

because you will destroy me.
