Leave!

A Choice

Showing up is a choice

Why make that choice,

If you don't really want to make that choice?

Why build trust just to let it fall?

Why still try to make it work?

A relationship can't work only one way

All in just to get push back

Push back just to get drawn in

A relationship controlled by one threatened to leave

Leave!

Just Leave!

Hiding to satisfy is tiring

Just go

Can finally breathe

Breathe in hurt

Breathe in pain

Breathe in heartbreak

Breathe in shame

But it's also a breath that feels so free

A big relief

Leave!
