Forced Goodbye

February 23, 2015
By Anonymous

I wanted to write you a letter,

Hoping that you were all the more better,

But I know that you're not;

Know that you got,

Hurt. 

 

I keep telling myself that I can help you,

Maybe save you,

But I'm not the hero that you need.

I'm the zero that watched you bleed.

 

I can write and write,

Watch day turn to night,

But that doesn't erase how I wronged you,

Hide how I conned you.

 

I started with 'Dear.'

Got caught up with these tears.

Now everything is starting to smear,

And nothing looks as clear.

 

I tried to write 'Sincerely,'

But my hand fought severely.

The pen burnt a hole,

Directly to this guilty soul.

 

I committed the crime,

Can't be the hero this time.

I'm sorry that you hurt,

Sorry that I can't write you goodbye,

But I can't help but avert;

Turn away as you pass life by.
