You Should Leave
You should leave.
You have hurt me, over, and over, and over. You don't ever deserve to see me again. You lied to me, time, after time, after time. You thought I didn't know the truth. That I was also wrapped in the sweet little lie you were telling yourself. You figured if I knew, I would leave. You know what you did is wrong but that didn't stop you from drowning yourself in what you wished was true so you could keep me.
And I let you.
I let months go by, knowing just what you were doing. I knew you were below me. I knew I should tell you to go. It wouldn't be hard for you to find someone else. But I never told anyone what I knew. I let your secret thrive. I kept quiet and continued to live inside the lie with you. But I can only pretend so long.
When you finally told me the truth I didn't pretend to be surprised, because I wasn't. And now all the chips are down.
You and I both know that you should leave. I should tell you to go away. Never come back. After what you've done, you aren't worth my time.
But I can't.
Because I want to stay. And I know you want to stay too. I wish we could work it out. I wish this didn't have to die. I know you should go, but I can't push you away, it would hurt me as much as it would hurt you.
But I think as much as we wish it was, this isn't meant to be.
So I have to tell you, even though it is the one thing that will hurt us most
you should leave.
