Withdraw and heal

Enough

Too much pain have i bestowed upon others
too many hurts
too few salves
and never any answers

Time to stop
time to withdraw
and pay my dues silently
for now at least

Leave the world to itself
leave people to their little games
leave tomorrow on someone else's shoulders
for now at least

Soon i will reclaim the burden
soon i will draw fresh veils over the hurt
soon i will stand strong
and i will return

To the cycles of hate
to the cycles of love
to the past and the "what if"s therein
untill i learn

i hope i do
