Leaving

Write about a character leaving something, or someone, they love.

Never Let Go

Attachment swallows me whole, I drown in its deep blue sea.

The way you look at me, as if mocking how I can’t let go. I can’t live without you, you’re my everything, and you’ve never cared. You’ve ignored my affection at times, until it hurts your winning in the game.

We hold hands, the moon must’ve been brighter tonight, you rubbed your finger against my hand as if to promise a lie of safety.

Soon the sun would rise, and this small moment would just be forgotten from your mind.

So I’ll savor the silence, that’s alI I wished to hear, until I heard your soul sucking voice.

“Do you ever think we’re soulmates? Meant to last _forever_?” You whispered, I wanted to laugh at your always poetic words. The questions you asked just to feed off my love, both of us were aware just of how much I hold on. I’d pretend to think of my awnser, yet I already knew what I was gonna say.

“I couldn’t see myself with anyone else but _you_.”

I felt your grin of approval, and I couldn’t help yearning for more.

The quietness rised, before our goodbyes would finalize such a moment, I have thosands of letters I want to send you on the pain you’ve inflicted, yet I can’t when it comes to face to face. You seem to have a good way of reading me, so maybe you’ll listen to my cries.

What other moment would could I take this pain away? on this rooftop?


“I can’t do this anymore.” The words came in a flimsy gasp, every muscle in my body was screaming in terror. I look at you, your gorgeous face is now covered in a face of disappointment. My heart shatters a million times yet I felt my heart sinking with anxiety.

“After all my efforts and time spent, you’re leaving me like this?” I shook in fear of my acts, my gaze turned away to my crossed arms. Your words hit me like a train, words can’t describe how much it pains me to be leaving the one who keeps me whole and empty.

“I just can’t!! Everything hurts, I don’t even know who I am without you!” I bawled my eyes out. The fragile glass was breaking out, every held thought and tear came in a sudden burst.

This was the last time I’d hold you, last time I’d be held.

Your shoes squeaked as you stood up, the damn Jordan’s I got you for your birthday. My eyes turned red in despair, yours stayed painless.

I’d beg as you walked away, telling another sob story just hoping you’d show some fake sympathy.


“Why does it hurt to leave them as much it is to stay with them?” I was kept complete, yet I felt myself decay to something not as strong as I used to be, I wasn’t missing anything.

I’d still let you drown me in that sea, even if it kills me.
