This chain weighs heavy on my heart, <br />I just cannot lie anymore, <br />I am sick and tired of lying. <br />I want my freedom, you deserve the best, <br />You need to find someone else to love you. <br /> <br />My heart is broken and bleeding, <br />Seeing you cry like this, <br />And I know you're hurting: <br />I'm hurting, too, but we need different things, <br />We need to find someone else to nurture. <br /> <br />I am still your friend, but just a friend, <br />I can't say we'll ever be more than that. <br />I thought we were soulmates, <br />But we have both changed, <br />Now I've got to go, I'm running low on credit. <br /> <br />I can't telephone you tomorrow, <br />I can't be your best friend, <br />Happiness is something no one should pretend. <br />And you will always have a special place in my heart, <br />But we are better off apart. <br /> <br />Talk to me: tell me the truth, <br />We just don't need each other anymore. <br />Soon another will belong to your heart, <br />And these memories will fade away, <br />Memories that will depart, <br />And leave you to a story of your own heart.<br /><br />Paula Glynn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-chain-to-my-heart/
