The Show

You say that we're departing
Slowly detaching
From one another's
lives.

I can't say
I didn't see it
Coming.
The greatest days
always die.

I know what's coming
I know how it ends
I've been in the cycle before.

I know what it's like
To love something so much
And have it ripped apart.

I try as hard as I can.
Your pain is killing me.
One second after the last,
I try to breathe steadily.

Please don't make it hurt
Don't make it harsh
like the last.
Have enough pride
To explain yourself
Other than
"I think we should just be friends".

You said you loved me more.
You said we had a "thing".
The words you have just spoken,
You know they're killing me.

With each breath I take
It's closer to the end
As the sun begins to rise up,
Let's get the show over with.
