Letting go was never easy for me
It's that scrap of hope that kept my love breathing
The violent act of pushing you away
With my heart only pleading
Begging for you to stay
Letting go meant prying until my fingers would bleed
For my skin would rather be torn than accept your leave
Thinking of you as fresh air was my first mistake
For with every gasp of your poison my lungs began to break
It wasn't long until my heart followed suit
My second mistake?
Falling in love with you
