End

Mascara running down to my feet,
To where my heart has sunk,
And my hope.
You cradle me gently with resentment
For the tears I can cry
Should fall from your eyes.
After all the pain I've caused you,
And you've been through before,
I'm just another knock in the teeth.
But when it comes to saying I love you
I struggle to mean it completely,
Yet when it comes to saying it's over
I don't even know where to start.
Holding you as this new wound
Recovers old ones
And weaves itself in,
I feel hopelessly self pitiful
And sorry for you.
I never wanted it to come to this.
In my heart I know it's the right decision
Yet the right one is certainly not the easiest.
I watch you screech off in your car
Into the drizzle
And I sit on the doorstep crying for your return.
I'm scared of the newness of nothing,
I'm resentful that I can't feel how I'd like to,
And I'm sorry I can't be all you want.
