left behind
I have to leave
It is the only thing I can do
I have to abandon you
It is the right thing to do
Seeing you every time, makes my heart stop everyday
imagine not seeing you at all. I could never fathom that day
Yes. For me it will be an agonizing battle
At least for you it will be an awkward part
You think about it for a day a day or two
and get back to you worldly woos
While it will take me the rest of my life
To acclimatize a world without you in my life
It is better. I have made you curious now
You stop and question my awkward behaviour
But I wouldn't want you to slack
My problems are mine to keep track
So I am leaving you forever.
Sacrificing opportunities that come my way
Saying goodbye to a job that was really great
But it is all worth it. If I can live a dying life with my eyes open
Rather than life a short-lived life with my eyes closed
as I see you at every turn.

This is a heartbreak that'll pass given time. At least the decision to move on has been made, the almost insurmountable first step. It gets easier, I hope. There's no denial here, just acceptance of the situation.

The job might be a necessary sacrifice for your peace of mind. I hope you're not actually going through this right now, Aarti. This is fine work in any case.

Crow!! I have my crazy ups and downs. But I am a sane person. It is just that I am a stubborn Leo and I feel claustrophobic when things don't go my way. :) also I have crazy moodswings that helptme write poetry.

Aarti I think at one time or another we have all been in your shoes. One day you will find that one that feels this way about you. Love this poem.
