I Can'T Leave Her Poem by Jon Edward Walker

“I need you to let me go”
she says
I try and I try but I know I cant
“there’s still a part of me
that loves you and misses you,
and another that misses sex,
and a last one that despises you”
that one wants nothing to do
with her
I do my best to fuel her animosity
and drive to leave me
as I’ve not the guts to do it myself
I call her late night
telling her how much I hate her
for one reason or another,
it’s relatively unsuccessful
as she spends the next hour drinking heavily
and leaving messages on my phone
one’s trying to belittle me
one’s that say she wants nothing to do with me
one’s saying she wants sex
and one’s that profess her love for me
and she tells me
she’s sorry.
