The Words to Say

By meganmb2004

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

How do I tell you something, If I know it will hurt you? How do I say I don't love you? To see your heart break is something I can't do. How do I say the words, 'I think we need time alone?' How can I stand there and see your smile, Instantly turn into a frown? I haven't been able to do it, But I need to do it now. I wish I could find the words to say it, I've lost interest in you somehow. Nothing is your fault, And there's nothing you can do. You're such a great person, So I know you'll find someone good for you. Just please don't hate me, And don't say 'I love you.' I'm not trying to break your heart, And I'm not doing this to be cruel. I just need to stay true to me, And do what's in my heart. I need to make sure I'm happy, And I think I can do that by us being apart. Just please walk away, But know that I'm hurt too. I'm glad we spent this time together, And I'm happy I got to know you. I can't keep playing this game, And let you live your life blind. I can't go along feeling nothing for you, And continue to call you mine. Written October 29th, 2001 © on Oct 29 2001 01:34 PM PST   0 • 10
