Two Sides of A Break (Vixen's Den)

Can't it be another way?

I found myself

And lost myself

In your arms.

Is there nothing left to say?

I made myself

And broke myself

Before you.

It ends without my asking,

Without my saying.

I can not have it another way;

There is too much I'd never say.

****

I waited like my breath would kill me-

I'd choke from wanting loose.

But you would not let me go.

I grew-I'd been a child

And you were there-but I'm tired.

I hoped you would grow, too.

But all you grew was friendship-

Not love.

I won't look back in anger-

Just regret we couldn't end it sooner-

Before it felt like this.
