I didn’t want to, I don’t want to let you go.

But I can’t watch as you destroy your soul.

I can’t be left with a deep hole.

Mistakes I have made.

For these, I will pay.

For you, I will pray.

Even if I cannot stay.

I wish one day,

You’ll understand what I felt for you.

Even if at the end this was no longer a thing of two.

Each one on their own side.

Facing alone their fight.

Strong during the day,

Broken at night.

No clear sight.

One day it’ll all be right.
