My words would be harsh,
You might not want to hear;
You might sag down just by listening,
All the pain that I bear!

My words will take you deep into the ocean,
The depth of which is not yet accessible;
I was drowned in the pain,
For all the sins, for which I was never responsible!

Spent uncountable sleepless nights,
Was shaken up from the nightmares you can’t even imagine;
Unlike you, I was replaced with other options in your life,
While I was left with none!

I loved and cared from the core,
Alas! But that was never enough for you;
So now, I take back that little part of me,
That I forgot to take back from you!

No, this ain’t a bitter goodbye,
I’m not running away from you;
I’m just fixing the scars that I got,
While detaching myself from you.
