this is for all the lovers who had the experience of having your partner move away :'(


August



Nothing, nothing,
Nothing can express
The feelings, the shock,
The anger, I felt
When I found out the truth
And I tried to shake it off,
It was nothing, nothing to be bothered about.
And we're alone,
And you have me pulled tight
And I reflect on the truth
The ridiculous truth
I try not to think about it
But my eyes well up in tears
You take my hand,
You look at me
I turn away, I can't, I won't.

I can't stand the thought
The very thought, of you leaving my side
I can't imagine a moment
Without your touch
Without your hand in mine
I can't, I won't, I hate to even think
To even think that reality is checking in
That my words can't change anything,
That time has passed.
You are, in fact, leaving me
A fact that has yet to sink in
And I accept it,
But I won't let it slip
Away from my mind
I refuse to let you go
At least without a fight
Because there is a piece of me
That cannot, let you go
But who am I to try to avoid the inevitable?

Raw, painful, and quite emotional. I hope everything works out!
