unnatural heartbreak (a short story)
I look into the eyes of my love & I know that I have hurt her beyond hope for forgiveness. I see the tears running down her beautiful but pained face, the loneliness and anger in my Sariah’s eyes. I turn away & step into the shadows I have to hurt the person I love but I have to make my beloved hate me. I have to, there’s no other way.
I step deeper into the shadows wishing I could at least hug my love before I go I risk a look back & see my beloved weeping on the ground. A week ago I would never had done this, but I have to. I cannot bring her into this mess. She cannot know about the evils that surround her, the evils that I am the descendant of. It is better that she hate me for leaving than know what I am.

Relatable. Sad but true about what has to be done sometimes. Wish I could find the strength to do the same.

This is heartbreakingly sad. Even though I have not done that to other people (not a whole bunch anyways), I know I have been on the receiving end of that situation. It hurts, but sometimes it has to be done. We (as humans) never want to hurt other people, but sometimes it's better walking away than bring someone (especially someone who does not deserve it) into the mess. This story is short, but it gets right to the point. I love it.
