Walk

I walk away from you
You grab my arm and say don't go I need you
I turn my face towards him
I muster up all the venom that comes into my voice as I spit the word liar at him
The venom sinks into his skin all the way to where the heart of who I used to love was
He looks at me and says I never wanted to hurt you
I roll my eyes and try to walk away
But he is still hanging on
He looks at me begging me with his eyes to fall into him
I turn away before I do exactly that
My voice is shaky the venom gone and I say let me go please
He shakes his head and says I've tried and it doesn't work
A silent tear slides down my face as I say
If you don't let me go I don't think I will ever walk away, please let me go. 
He lets go and when he does I turn towards him one last time
Intending just to look at him
But he is crying
And my instincts kick in and I run and hug him
He sobs into my shoulder saying
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
I shake my head and say
It's not okay. But one day it will be.
Then I did the hardest thing I've ever done.
I walked away.
