I'D Rather Leave

If I ever thought staying would hurt you
more than my absence,
I'd turn my crying eyes from you and walk away.
I didn't come here to cause anymore damage
to your already deconstructed soul.
I came here to heal.
And if the day comes that I no longer mend your wounds. 
I will not stand to make them deeper.
I will delicately kiss your scars once more
and love you in my memories.
