I Left

I left you

not because I'm done.

—not because I'm tired,

not because I'm giving up.

I left you

not because I fell out.

—not because I didn't love you,

not because I lied.

I left you,

because I knew

that the longer you hold on to me,

the more you'll get hurt.

The longer you stay,

the more you will have to suffer.
