You Know Who You Are

It's so unnerving the way things end,
not knowing the established
but only what's yet to come
that hasn't fully revealed itself...
Not just yet, anyway.

You're probably sitting there
not even reading through this mundane
piece of poetry but I'm pouring my soul
out to you because I have so much
still left inside of me.

I don't know if I'll always miss you
or if this is just a temporary phase
I'm going to go through like the others
but I do know that I miss you as much now
as I did then and I know I fucked it all up.

I can't have what I want and I'm okay with that.
Trust me, it's a consequence I'm willing to
live with regardless of what I say now.
I just hope you understand how I truly,
honestly feel about you in all of this.

Forget that I screwed up,
even though I know you can't
and forget that this a chance I'm willing to take
and so I'm going to, no matter what
you think is best for us right now.

I'm tired of waiting.
It's now or never.
So I'm holding on tight
to that severing tether.
