I Can't Stay.

by Unamed   Dec 16, 2010


It has never been about Me.
As much as you think so,
I'm doing this for you.

Believe me, hurting you,
is the last think i want.
But it is inevitable.

Yes, i led you on.
And yes, i let this go on.
But believe me, i know.
I know i'm selfish.

Keeping you, was never a choice.
But i had to hold on. Even if,
it was for this short while.

My past holds me back,
I can't let you love me.
I just cannot take your love.

A wounded little girl,
lives deep inside of me.
And i must let you go,
Before i hurt you.

I know i'm hurting you.
And i'm sorry, truly.
But if i were to stay,
I'd hurt you even worse.

You see, i'm afraid.
What runs through me,
Where i come from,
I don't want it to affect you.

You just have to understand.
A cheaters, adulterous, deceivers
blood runs through me. And i can't.
I can't run the risk.

What if i do the same to you?
What if it does run through me?
What if i am capable of all that?
No, No ,No. Can't risk it.

I know i'm hurting you.
And i'm sorry, truly.
But if i were to stay,
I'd hurt you even worse.

I love you. Honest, i do.
And i know it sounds Cold now.
But i'm doing this for you.
I'm letting you go.

I Love you.
But if i stay,
I'd bring you pain.
I'm sorry.

I Can't Stay.

    I feel like we often have to do something for the good even if it doesn't feel right. Sometimes we have to walk away and hurt the person in order for them to realize we didn't cause the pain we could have. I don't think my ramble makes sense, I hope you understand lol.

    This poem felt like a definite release. :) Well done
