Love Poem: Break

Break

What are you supposed to do?
When it all breaks apart?
That love isn’t there.
The one that existed,
When you were sparkly-eyed teenagers.
The kindness and small gestures,
That made your heart skip a beat or even two.
But it’s faded, 
Years wore it down.
In one’s eyes, the other’s wrong.
In the other’s eyes, they’re wrong.
But what’s real?
Break,
You’re gone.
Break,
It’s done.
Break,
Please leave.
Break,
I need to breathe.
Who we were,
Isn’t who we are.
Turmoil is blowing it up.
Maybe we need space.
We just need the distance.
We don’t need each other like before.
Break,
This is the end.
Break,
There’s nothing to mend.
Break,
Please leave.
Break,
I need to breathe.
The love is still there.
But it’s not quite enough.
There’s more to life then that.
It’s too rough.
So we need a break.
Just please leave.
I need to breathe.
