Ton of Bricks (The End)

I'm sorry for my mistakes, I said to her.

She left anyway.

I can change, I said to her.

She left anyway.

I will suppress my feelings, I said to her.

She left anyway.

I have self-control, I said to her.

She left anyway.

We can be friends, I said to her.

She left anyway.

Give me one chance, I said to her.

She left anyway.

You can trust me, I said to her.

She left anyway.

I want the best for you, I said to her.

She left anyway.

Remember the good, I said to her.

She left anyway.

I want to cry, I said to her.

She left anyway.

I can't concentrate, I said to her.

She left anyway.

I can't sleep, I said to her.

She left anyway.

You said you'd never leave, I said to her.

She left anyway.

I will miss you, I said to her.

She left anyway.

I will be alone, I said to her.

She left anyway.

You're my only friend, I said to her.

She left anyway.

You make me happy, I said to her.

She left anyway.

This will cause me pain, I said to her.

She left anyway.

I don't want to lose you, I said to her.
She left anyway.

I don't know what I'll do without you, I said to her.

She left anyway.

Please don't go, I begged her.

She left anyway.

I thought to myself . . .
How can you do this? This isn't fair to me.
Did you even care? I don't know anymore.
Why don't I get a choice? My happiness matters too.
Why don't I get a chance? I thought I earned at least that.
What did I do to deserve complete detachment? I am confused.
Won't you feel remorse after doing this? I'm certain that I would.
Why the sudden change of heart? You said you'd always be here for me.
From who are you seeking protection: me or yourself? I'd like to know.
You claim we were strictly friends the whole time? Yet you want to end it all.
You're willing to throw away everything we've built? This isn't the only solution.
Did our friendship mean anything to you? I'm no longer so sure.
How can you move on from this so effortlessly? That truly saddens me.
Do you expect me to do the same? I can't do that.
You won't even show your face to say goodbye for the last time? After all we've been through together, that's seriously depressing.

I have made up my mind, she said to me.

I wept silently.

This is my own decision, she said to me.

I wept silently.

I don't want to be friends with you, she said to me.

I wept silently.

You aren't healthy for me, she said to me.

I wept silently.

You're nothing but a distraction, she said to me.

I wept silently.

I don't want to hear from you, she said to me.

I wept silently.

And you won't hear from me, she said to me.

I wept silently.

Farewell, without a stutter, she abandoned me.

I wept silently.

Overnight, without a moment of hesitation, that was the end.

That hurt, like a ton of bricks.
