holding on

i don’t give up on people easily
so giving up on you it meant you really fucked up
i don’t give up easy at all
i hang on when it hurts
i hold on even when it causes more pain than happiness
i held on to you while you held on to her tightly and let go of me with no hesitation
i held on to you when you let go of her and the next one and the next one
but soon the pain became too unbearable and with every tear that fell my grip loosened
until i forced myself to let go of you entirely
until you became just another stranger i know all too well
