goodbye:
im sorry.
for every time i made you worry,
for every tremor, every panic i couldnt hold back,
for every moment i asked too much, and clung too tight.
im sorry i wasnt stronger, that i couldnt be the steady hand,
the comfort, the calm—anything but this.
i know i dragged you down, forced you to slow just to match my broken steps.
and im so, so tired of apologizing for it all.
they tell me to be patient, to wait, that it gets better,
but those words are hollow, just echoes in an empty room.
im weary of promises that fade as soon as theyre spoken,
of trying to believe in things that never seem to change.
i cant do it anymore. i dont have it in me to keep fighting,
and i dont need your advice or reminders that I have a purpose,
not when i know, deep down, that i dont.
please dont ask me to stay,
not when i can see in your eyes the strain,
the weight of carrying me. i dont want that for you—
never wanted this to be your burden.
so maybe this is the best i can give you,
to slip quietly from the race,
to stop holding you back.
im sorry if this feels like a betrayal,
if it makes you ache in ways i never meant to cause.
but please, understand,
im so tired,
and this goodbye feels like the only thing left i have to offer.
