Dear John...Survivor Challenge #12

By introubleintx

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I wonder how to tell you that I've changed my mind, I wonder how you'll take the news, I'm leaving you behind. I know it will hurt like hell, but I just can't live like this I need to move ahead in life. And fix what's been amiss. We're getting older, can't you see? I'm tired of being alone. I'm tired of taking all the blame, for all the things you've done. In the system that you're in I feel it would be best, to tell you now I can't go on and let you figure out the rest. You've never wanted just me until you went to jail, now the past has taken it's toll and I'm the one that's failed. I didn't fail you, you know, but instead I failed me, I spent so much time on us that I failed to see. That other's were hurt along the way, by the things we've done I'm sorry is all I can say. I'm facing this challenge just to let you go, and I'm writing this poem to let you know. I think it's time to finally part, and put an end to our broken hearts.Well, this has been weighing heavily on my mind the last few days...I still don't know how to tell him...I don't want to hurt him...But I don't know what else to do...
