I'm Leaving

[brainfreeze]

I'm Leaving

I'm leaving

Before I want you to stay

I'm ending this

While it doesn't hurt

For you to go away

I'm not ready

For the pain

That cuts

Jagged edges

Into hearts

When we part

I'm still week

From my last addiction

Still aching

In yesterday's fix

I'm afraid

Of love-sickness

Love is not a drug

It is a sweet poison

Its grip reaches deep

Into the gut

And rips your soul

Out

By the heart

There is no anti-dote

No transplant or support unit

To repair or cure it

Tissues, TV

And heated blankets

Warm the cold nights

Where you use to be

Lying beside me

Hiding your lies

In the comfort

You wrap around me

We're going nowhere

And I'm left lying there


I'm leaving
