But I will

I stand alone, tears in my eyes.
You say you don’t love me anymore.
Your words make my heart stand still.
I can’t hear you to hurt me, but I will.

My eyes see you through a watery blur.
You pack your bags to go.
Your plan cuts my heart from my chest.
I don’t want to watch you, but I will.

You open the door and walk away.
Not even a pity look back.
Now we don’t talk or even feel.
I don’t want to lose you, but I will.

Your car backs away, and speeds out of sight.
I know the end of us.
It is time to let my broken heart heal.
I don’t want to love you, but I will.
