Burn

It’s that kind of burning ache you’ll only experience when someone is pleading you not to go.

“Please don’t go, I don’t want to lose someone like you.”

But darling, I’m off to a happier place. There were happy times back then but now it’s all blood and tears and there’s nothing left to say. There was a time I would have traded the moon and the stars to be there but now all I see is a wrecked cottage that has no resemblance to home. Darling, I miss you but I can’t stay. Don’t you see? It’s killing me inside out, bit by bit of my wrecked soul.

Be happy for me, don’t cry. I didn’t leave because I didn’t consider for your feelings, I left because I can’t find happiness anymore. I’ll be happier elsewhere, I’ll find home somewhere else. Tonight, let me warm your heart with my voice one more time. Tonight, I’ll let you cry on my shoulder one last time.

Tomorrow, I’ll still be myself, I’ll still adore you the way I always did. 

Nothing has changed between us, nothing at all.

It’s just that I’ll never put on the same shirt and embrace you anymore.
