If

If words could change so easily, was it all a lie? 

If leaving was so hard, how could you say goodbye?

If you loved me, would it not hurt? 

If you cared, would you have not stayed?

I torn between it being for the best, 

and being sad you walked away.

Liked especially, the opening line.

Impermanence in prose. Bravo.

A work of art. These are the words of a true poet, and of gasping breaths of a broken heart.
