Between You & Me

I never imagined

we would finally be free
From the grips of each other
so unhealthy.
You can't stand for yourself
you need me to stay.
I'm busy living I don't have time to babysit.
You want to talk work things out
reasonably.
Screw that
I'm tired
just get away from me.

You're asking
I'm turning
you're begging
I'm leaving.
Can't you see
this is the end
we're no longer
feeding
This anger and hate

and annoyance and grieving.
I'm tired. I'm done.
Leave me be.

Don't trip, don't flip
just walk away.
You simply aren't worth it
at the end of the day.
I read and I heard

all

you had to say
But I'm not interested in saving our
dependency.
This isn't your fault or mine
or that of the world.
It just wasn't working.

I'm simply so tired

of you being so stupid 

and silent.
I'm done being angry
about your life
and your family.

So watch me go, you
won't be holding

me back.
If you keep pursuing
you'll be under attack.
I'm kidding
I'm living
I ain't got time for your s**t.
You hold on all that you want

but all you're holding

is mist.

Try all you want
I'm not coming back.
I'm doing this for me.
I'm getting on track.

But I've gotten so lonely
I don't know
how to speak.
I've gotten so tired I only
want sleep.
I'm just saying
not blaming.
Trying to express how
I'm feeling.

It's hard to talk
when there's so much to say.
Yeah, it's hard to talk
when there's too much to say.
So instead, I'll just sit here
click File
and Save.

A great thing about poetry is its ability to connect to the hearts of the readers and convey they feelings of the author. You really have quite the poem here. Can't wait to review more.
