It's ok, walk away,
I finally understand.
I don't know how I didnt see it.
I watched you do it all before.
Girl after girl,
friend after friend.
It was so obvious, all along.
Your fears,
laid out to the world.
Your excuses worn,
on the tip of your tounge.
Heart far from your sleeve.
Have you been hurt before,
is that why you are scared?
Do you fear what never happened?
Either way,
it is such a waste.
Your killing them to escape,
Pain is inevitable,
don't you see?
The suffering however,
is only an option!

-You always have an out. An exit strategy to make sure you don't get hurt. You always have the choice to walk away first. You walk away before they can walk away from you.
