The Breaking Point

Oh, the pain it causes 
I try to last through the night, 
but with you in my mind, 
I can't bear to realize 
that I need you... 
bad. 

I swore to never 
let my emotions 
get the best of me, 
but today, 
I shall stand, 
boldly, 
and break it. 

I cry, 
every night, 
wishing you were here, 
lying in the bed with me, 
once again. 

Your looving touch, 
gentle smile, 
makes life 
worth while. 

And when I look 
into your eyes, 
I see truth 
staring back at me. 

Old memories 
flood my mind, 
and even though I try to remain calm, 
I break. 

Tears flow, 
emotions fly, 
my world crashes, 
when you're not around. 

Leaving you, 
is the hardest, 
most difficult, 
things 
I've 
ever 
done. 

My Breaking Point.
