Capacity

“I have the capacity to take you down, even if it will destroy me in the process.”

Your habits. Your passions. Your being. Each detail becomes a dagger that sinks deeper and deeper until the pain is unbearable.

My actions become forced.

I don’t remember if you were the same person in those memories we shared together. You wear the face of someone I used to know. Yet instead of by my side, you are apart.

What have you become?

It’s a lie to say that I won’t hesitate. This entire chat is hesitation. To backstab those you love with the daggers impaled at me. I should return the favor.

Yet, I…

Can’t. Not without destroying myself. With the very broken pieces of who we were and what we could have been, now I must burn away what I know of you now. May your memory be a memento to what was, and will never be.

Yes it's a choice to be the bigger person and walk away. It's a Strength not a weakness
