Leaving

By: Aimee M. Schmidt

I sit here and wonder
What I am going to miss
I lay back and remember
How I got into this mess

Yes, I know, it is my choice
to leave this world of hate
But it was your choice to leave me
that led me to this fate

I line them up, all in a row
And I am amazingly calm
As I take the first one
Then one by one they enter me

My minutes left here are few
But before I take the last one
To end my pain
I just want you to know

I love you with all my heart
And nothing ever changed that
You thought it best for us to part
And because I loved you, I let you go

In the end, letting you go was wrong
Because I was not strong enough to face life alone
So I'm sorry I have to leave this way
I know it's not my only choice

But I will love you
No matter where I go
You will always have my heart
