we are ending

My love, I'm thinking of ending it all

with one more step and let the forgetting begin.

You are tired

I'm exhausted

I'm thinking that maybe it's for the best because your words sound like a snort and my heart is ice in the shape of a rock that seeks to blame every evil on your skin.

You are leaving

I am staying

My life, I am deciding that there are no more tears when we have already worn wounds. We will not have a better offer than to sigh and close our eyes, let’s do it like a band-aid and let it slip away.

You are alive

I am dying.

Ta.
