Kill Your Darlings
May 23, 2016
Darling,
I am sorry, you must die.
You know what they say, do I have repeat it?
Kill your darlings.
I can’t let you out, I can’t let them see you.
I love you, but I must face the fact that I don’t need you.
It breaks my heart, hurts my soul, I don’t want to do it.
You will always live on in my heart, but you just can’t stay.
Goodbye my love, you will be missed.
three...two...one…
