How I wish I didn’t have to let you go

Watch you walk down that dark street

Your shoulders hunched, your arms empty without my embrace.

The street lights above you

Make a hazy halo

Round your head.

And I think, my angel, who I put through hell,

Who I will put through a deeper hell

By sending you away.

But you’ll pull through, and cross that bridge that separates us

Over the churning water,

Till you can look and think,

It was better to have left.

But now,

What a lonely sound!

Your echoing footsteps as they escape from my broken attempt

At loving you.
