Heartbreak

If only you could see the tears my heart has cried
The loud bellows, begging you to stay
But my pride will not allow
It is your life and you must take control of it

If only we were able
To do practical things to deal with our little problems
But like me, you did nothing
Promises were not enough

You must go and though it is hard for me to accept
In time I will realize that this is just another step
Another phase in my life which will make me stronger
But 'til then the pain will linger
