Afraid

It's only you.
It's only me.
It's only everything we couldn't be.
We struggled.
We fought.
We acted as though all was forgiven & forgot.
"I can't do this anymore,"
I choose to say.
And then we slowly inch away.
That's how it plays in my head.
As I imagine the blood a deep red.
Pouring down my arm
And causing me the best kind of harm.
I cried.
You didn't hear.
Because you were nowhere near.
You questioned.
I was afraid.
And I had nothing left to say...
