I Am Leaving

Heart on my Sleeve

I owe this inmate everything

But there's nothing I can do.

Left behind

A blade I drive

Through not one soul, but two.

Forgive me.

I am leaving.

  • Friendship

    Your work explores themes of guilt, sacrifice, and the emotional toll of leaving someone behind. It reflects on the complexity of relationships, particularly the burdens and responsibilities that come with deep connections.

  • sorenbarrett

    Deeply metaphoric and tragic it calls out mutual destruction in the breaking of a relationship. Whenever two are joined the actions of either one affect the other. A joint suicide. Nicely and most poetically written
