As The Saying Goes

 

As the saying goes

If you love something set it free

but How?

How do you free yourself

of something that has grown

into your heart,

something so deep

and permanent

that to set it free

would tear your heart from you body?

But maybe it would be better

to have the pain

caused by the pulling away.

Maybe anything is better than this.
