Walk away.

The first, the second, third and fourth.
Leave and take a piece of me with you.
Break me apart and steal from me.
Take everything I am.

I just don't expect love to stay anymore.

That's a part of me someone I would die for took with them.
You can hear the pieces forced apart.
The terrible sound it is-

To myself,
I feel all the pain.
To you,
I feel none.

I know.

I just expect it.
I understand I'll never be an option.
I accepted you for everything you were and weren't,
But for me,
You didn't.

All the time.

How could I expect you to understand that when I love someone,
I give everything to you?
Anything.

Break it again,
My heart.

It's addicting,
Watching them all turn and walk away.
Leaving me with the numbness.
I wish I knew what you were thinking.
Maybe I shouldn't.

There isn't much left now to take.
The jagged edges tear me apart inside.

I...
Don't believe in true love anymore.
It just can't exist.
It's an impossibility
For me.

For anyone else,
I hope in everything that you find true love.
Be happy.

I'll take all the pain.
Don't worry,
Please.

The weight of your world I can stack on top of mine.
I've become much better at balancing them all than I once was.

Turn your back to me.

One,
Two,
Three...
Four.
