It's hard to shut someone out when hope comes calling at night. But facing feelings of doubt, is lying more wrong than right? Anxiety's all too real, hidden behind disguises. And no matter how you feel, hurt comes in varied sizes. Broken hearts beyond repair become reservoirs of pain. But you feel that isn't fair, and it's driving you insane. Pangs of guilt wage their attack, but it's time the lies desist. And when you leave, don't look back despite the fact, you'll be missed. (Quatrain) 1/11/2016

It's easier to leave in the physical sense than the emotional. When we can create a foolproof method for never returning to those lost loves and their pain, we'll make a million or ten. Well written and yes, sometimes it's better to leave a relationship that is nothing but shards of lies to the dust bin.
