ramblings and things
There’s tension in the room,
A feeling of despair,
I feel so very guilty,
Yet I need to face her.
Like a small urchin waif
She stands there crying
I feel my heart is breaking
But I have to end the lying.
She deserves so much better
Than I am able to give
She needs the chance
To start once more to live.
She needs a lover
I only need a friend
So very sadly
This relationship must end.
I hand her the key
To her apartment door
Which her lifeless fingers
Let drop to the floor.
If i stay any longer
My resolve will break;
This decision was
So very hard to make.
There had to come a time
When I had to move on;
I close the door behind me,
And with regret have gone.
Her sobs follow me
Down the stairs onto the street
The outer door slams closed and
Another chapter of my life is complete
Leaving II
