THE ONLY WAY TO GO

 

Letting you go

is like 

stripping myself

of the only gold in my hands.

I hate to think about it.

But I can't bear not to.

I hate to feel it

but I can't resist it.

It's devastating.

It's obsessing.

It's so agitating

and so painful.

But is the only way to go.

Letting you go is like

the worst dream I will ever have

in my life.

It's hard to bear

difficult to say

and somewhat impossible.

It's a bad thought

and a ridiculous plan.

But it's the only way to go.

"Goodbye to you" is the saddest song 

I have ever known.

I never want to sing it.

It is the worst story

that could ever ooze out of my mouth.

It is as bitter as pepper

but the only way to go.

If I only could

I would have said "NO"

to all the odds.

But this is the only way to go.
