Saying Goodbye

I don’t know what to feel
What to assume
Things just don’t feel right
I don’t know 
If I can continue to go on this way
Continue to pretend that everything is okay
Pretend that my heart isn’t breaking more and more 
As each day passes
I feel like you want to break free
And disappear from me
As hard as that fact is to take
I have
I have accepted it
Just tell me that it’s over
I will be the first to go
I just don’t want to be the last to know
How you feel
You claim that you love me
But the words have lost their luster
Your actions tell me something else
They tell me that the time to say goodbye
Has arrived
It is inevitable
I have tried to fight it
Ignore it
Yet it still lingers over my head
Like a gloomy cloud
They say saying goodbye is never easy
But can someone tell me why does it have to be so hard?
