She's better off
With my parents
Than having me
As her parent.
We're struggling
My love
I can't provide
For her.
Between college
And you
Not being here
I just
Can't do this.
If I died
That would be
One less person
To worry about.
If I died
They would only
Have to worry
About her
And my
Dead
Body.
Would it be
So bad
For me
To be lifted of
This burden
You left me with?
I love her
But if
I love something
It must be time
To
Let
Go.
