The Breakup

Today 2:35 am

Me: We need to talk.

Fear: Hey! What’s wrong? You okay?

Me: This.. just isn’t going to work out.

Fear: Wait what?! Why?

Me: I hate to say this but its not me this time,

it’s you.

Fear: If this is about the staying up late

thing we can find a compromise I swear!

I know you like to get a full night's sleep

but I really enjoy talking to you and the hours

Just get away from me.

Me: It’s not just about that.

Fear: Okay, we can still figure this out together.

Just talk to me. Tell me what’s on your mind.

Me: I’ve tried to talk with you, reason with you,

but you never really listen to me.

No matter how hard I try nothing changes..

Fear: I can change! Just give me another chance,

I can change!

Me: The problem is you never do.

No matter how many times you promise me you will.

It’s exhausting and I don’t want to do this anymore.

Fear: But you told me you feel safe in my

arms last night.. Was that a lie? What happened

To the moments we’ve shared? I can’t believe

You’re just trying to toss this out the window,

Toss me out the window like trash! We’ve known

Each other for years.

Me: Listen, I wasn’t lying when I said I felt safe with you

last night, but only last night. More often than not I feel..

I just can’t do this anymore. I was a better person

before you and I want to be that person again.

I know you have good intentions, but this relationship

Is tearing me apart. It’s not healthy.

Fear: ...So you’re saying I make you

a bad person?

Me: I’m saying that we’re bad for each other.

Fear: And yet you’re the best thing that’s

happened to me..

Me: Perhaps. But that doesn’t make me good for you.

Fear: But you are good for me! We’re a

power team for crying out loud. We keep

Each other together.

Me: I wish I could say we were, that we do,

but not anymore.

Fear: ….

Fear: What happens when you come

back to me crying like last time? I love you but

I don’t know if I can bounce back from this.

Me: I won’t come back. This time its final.

Its over.

Fear: Wait! I’ll do anything, please.

Me: I’m sorry. The only thing you could do

is be the opposite of who you are and that’s

not fair of me to ask of you.

Fear: So this is it?

Me: Best of luck. I hope you find someone

who really cares for you. Goodbye.
