You wonder how I care but still have to cut you loose
You mean the world to me like none other ever has
I do not have an answer and cannot come up with an excuse
Your wide smile- so full of life and pizazz

I'll let you know in the only way I know how
A pen on the paper producing curved lines
You do not even know I write poetry I guess you do now
I cannot help the person who love assigns

I woke up this morning and realized something was not right
My moods have been swinging and you have become depressed
For the past month we have done nothing but fight
Life without you would shove me into cardiac arrest

I know that it is hard, believe me I see
I do not want you to think the past was a game
Picked out ring at Jared's, but this cannot be
Hurting you was never my aim

Doing this now is better than leading you on
I have no other way to do this than just walk away
I know its dark right now but soon it will be dawn
Maybe you will understand ... maybe... someday

The cold metal you once placed around my wrists
is now tight around my heart and soul- tug...
the truth in my heart insists!
So i am leaving... with out one last hug

Great poem but a sad ending?? In forth stanza change line three only if you like, to read:

Picked out ring at Jared's, but this cannot be


That will round up the rhyme scheme.
