You told me you were proud of me
It felt like a rope tightening itself around my neck
Instead of a weight being lifted off my chest
Tears gathered in my eyes
And slid off my cheeks
At the thought of leaving you
I cried while your eyes pulled down
And a smile found its way to your lips
You comforted me
And now you leave me
It hurts
Losing you hurts
More than I expected
