Disconnecting

he wanted to walk away
he knew that she was wrong
for him...
she was kept
he wanted to say goodbye
but he did not want to be a hypocrite
he did not want for things to be where they had been
he wanted to walk away
be confident enough to walk
and stay away
but he loved this woman
he loved her for her companionship
her words
her patience
she was not a bad person
she was a great mother
a good friend
she was just bad for him
he needed to be alone
for once in his life
needed to be happy in himself
he needed to feel good about him
he loved this woman
loved to please this woman
but did not want to be defined by this woman
as it had happened so many times before
that he had found himself with his brother's
woman
someones woman
he needed to let go
but didn't know how to let go
couldn't walk away
didn't know how to walk away
wanted to walk away
couldn't find the strength to walk away
knowing in his heart it was just a matter of time
until
...he would muster up the nerve to finally
WALK AWAY AND NEVER RETURN
