Walk Away

by Inside the Liar   Jan 4, 2011


There was a time
when i could have walked away
from you
and it would have hurt neither one
of us.
But that time has passed.

If I leave now, will it hurt you?
Or will you go on,
unscathed?

You say that thinking
of your life without me in it
brings you sorrow.
But I know it brings
relief.

You say you won't
walk away;
give up;
abandon.
But what if that is what I
want or need from you?

You are the only thing
tying me here.
I don't want to be here.

So even though
it would hurt me,
perhaps I should walk

away.
