Stop

STOP (Aline Amike)

I said stop!

We can stop here and I promise I will be alright.

Not right away but eventually.

The longer it stays, the more it hurts us

For, we don’t even know how to care.

Does that even make sense?

We pretend that everything is alright

We pretend that all is well

We pretend that we are so good to each other

We pretend.

We even pretend just to pretend

Am I really selfish to let you go?

Is this what it means by love might mean letting go?

I think this is it

We bring the worst out of each other and settle for less.

We all want to meet each other’s standards

Yet for me, some are too low

I might have to be taken back to my toddler days.

No underestimation.

I only mean to be truthful this once

This is the problem with ‘us ‘. Being real is an insult

You have to talk like you’re walking on empty eggshells

Do you even know what that feels like?

I bet you don’t.

How could you? You hate reality so reality hates you too

Karma is a bitch! Not so?

So let’s just stop here.

You are everything that’s wrong with me and maybe I am that to you

Is it not the best to just stop?

Cry out in silence and get to see another who was always there but ignored?

I know you wouldn’t agree because you think I’m leaving you

Yet you go by, ’I leave people. People don’t leave me.’

So open your eyes to see that we’ll all be leaving,

Babes.
