RELEASING THE EMOTIONAL CRUTCH

I want to be done with feeling that I need you. I don't want to give you the slightest care. However, when you say that you are leaving... My mind can't handle that you are not there. I struggle against my lonely internal madness. You see, I know that you don't need me anymore. Nothing you do shows me that you love me. Still, I miss you every time you walk outside my door. You have bored into the deep divide of my reasoning. You have grown like a tumor on the softness of my soul. I know that love in no longer our connection. Still, I need your presence to help me feel whole. I am asking you tenderly just to leave me. Even though I know, I will miss your caustic touch. I simply need to severe this malignant connection. So that you can no longer be my emotional crutch. Love that is wasted can never be recaptured. It is stolen and used without much care. I am begging you to stop and release me. Please.... Allow me to love to someone that wants to be there.
