I have to stop loving you...

________________________________

I live my life teetering on the edge

of obsession and despair.

Your words cut me like a knife

And you don't even seem to care.

--

My heart is breaking and hurt feelings

have become a constant companion to me

This is why I must let you go

and set my spirit free.

--

To heal the wounds of this unrequited love.

I must learn to take care of myself

put away the obsessive love ever so

high upon the shelf.

--

These ties that bind are hard to sever,

just thoughts of letting you go

makes me ache so very deep inside.

I love you, yes, but you don't love me

a fact that can no longer be denied.

--

I know you don't mean to hurt me

but your love is like a wildfire,

consuming all my common sense,

leaving behind nothing but

charred remnants.

--

Farewell, my darling love, though it

may break me in two, I must release you,

release this bitter heartache to

recreate myself anew.

--

Though tears may fall, and my heart

may be torn, I have to stop loving you,

and be reborn.
