Dear Anna: For Contest

Dear Anna,

I
       Left you in order to save you from me.
Didn’t
       I warn you that I was poisonous? 
Want
        Doesn’t overpower your need for a better life.
To
        Be with you would only hurt you more.
Leave
         You a chance to heal your own scars.
You
         Deserve better than the broken parts of me.
Behind
         Leave me in the dust and move on.
Anna.

I buy a train fare.
	Leave it all behind,
Love, pain, fears, smiles
	This heartbreak.
It hurts, but I do it.
	City after city…
                 But at the same time…
                                     I feel euphoric…. 
                                            Why does leaving you and San Francisco…
                                  Give me a renewed sense of…
                           Freedom….
Anna. 
               I’m
       This
                           So
                    Is
                                         Sorry.
                             Goodbye.
