I cannot bear your sadness; I can't carry it with me and nurture it as you do. I can't love you and see that love sink into an abyss of sorrow. I can't embrace your bitterness or hold a hand that is always clenched. No warmth can melt the ice in your eyes and no force can penetrate the concrete fortress around your heart.
Nor can I say goodbye, for all the pain I cannot walk away from you or turn my back on the memories of what we were. For every tear I shed for you, for every moment I feel I am about to break there is a second of hope that keeps me here and nourishes my faith.
