Sometimes
the pain of loving someone
is more painful
than living without them.
Sometimes
it's just easier to let go,
than to keep living with the
arguments and all the woes.
Sometimes
love is just not enough
to bind you together
throughout the smooth or the rough.
Sometimes
the pain of seeing someone destroy themselves
is more than one can bare?
Why do we do the things we do to ourselves?
Sometimes
it's better to walk away,
even though you know
you will long to see them each and every day.
Sometimes
the pain of loving someone
is more painful
than living without them.
And then you know
Its time to go.
