Indecision clouds my mind,
The loneliness now dependable.
But no longer can I continue blind,
To a truth I find detestable.
The warmth you give is beyond elation,
Eases my discomfort, yet discomforts my ease.
An understanding unique to our relation,
How sad it’s a mutual disease.
The thing is though, I’m just playing for time,
I’d rather not lie by omission.
Satiation a state we’ve learned to mime,
At best we’ll stay in remission.
Thus while it might pain me to tell you no,
Perhaps it’s kinder to let you go.
