I,
I've packed all my clothes and walked out the door.

One,
One last look at the chipped door frame and I'm gone.
The satchel feels heavenly against my palms.

Finally,
I'm greeted with a long-forgotten sense of confidence in my stance.

This,
This must be the part where I leave fresh fears behind.
Quivering lips and mumbles are in the past.

Where,
Where my head once laid, a yellow note remains.
I refuse to stay in a place full of hate.

Words,
Words run dry inside our ruined paradise.
There's nothing left to say to say.
Excuses won't ever make it okay.

It's,
It's unbearable.
Our situation is terrible.
Now it's your turn to understand. Not all love stories have a happy end.
