How To Move

4

  Do you understand what you did to me?

  Do you understand how much pain and grief you put me through? It's been almost two months now since you got up and left.

  I understand it was a dream of yours. I understand it's put you on the path toward achieving you life goals or whatever you said. . .
  but do you understand? 

  Do you understand what dream and future you left behind?

  This is unfair of me, I know. I chose not to come with you, but traveling half way across the world? How was it fair to ask that of me?

  There was only one thing keeping you here and it wasn't coming with you, because it itself was and still is a floating ship anchored down by family and memories. You couldn't pull the anchors from out of my soul and bring me on your journey, so instead you left without me. You left me to suffer and drown in grief and regret.

  I created new memories with you and now I am anchored to you, even though you're thousands of miles away. 

  I hate you for this.
  If I could snap those chains, I would.
  Don't you understand?

  I hate you. 

  Let me go, I'm begging you . . .

  Unchain me.
