Less Than Whole
Less Than Whole
I now know how much I love you,
But that’s where the problem lies.
There’s a part inside of heart
That can’t get past the lies.
~
Can’t get past the broken trust,
The images of him and you.
No matter how hard I try,
It’s something I just can’t do.
~
You’ve broken something in me,
That seems to be beyond repair.
You stripped away my confidence,
And left me with only fear.
~
I feel less of a man,
Far less than being whole.
What you’ve stolen from me,
I fear will take its toll.
~
So even though I love you,
I know that I must leave.
Go away on my own,
So that I may grieve.
~
This is the hardest thing I ever said,
The hardest I’ll ever do.
Telling the woman that I love,
Our life together is through.
~
With a tear, I’ll walk away,
Free you from the chains.
Wipe the slate clean,
But the bruises still remain.
(Written for a friend who is going through a difficult break-up)
