i understand

it’ll hurt

the final look
as i walk out the door.

the final smile
as i think about you
and the memories.

the final hug
as i hold on just long enough,
hoping you notice
my shaking.

the final tear
as i let go
in the silence of my own,
my only company
the blade.

the final goodbye
as i close my eyes
to the peace i have been seeking.

it’ll hurt,
but you’ll forget.

i understand.
