Poem: Pushing You Away

Pushing you away
was the last thing
I wanted to do

Making you second guess our love
was the last thing
I wanted to do

Making you feel smothered by me
was the last thing
I wanted to do

I tried so hard to keep you
trying, hoping didn't work
you left me
and now I'm afraid

I'm afraid of losing you
every single second
of my life

A mistake
one sentence
one secret I kept to myself
for years
destroyed us
