Tropic of Capricorn

I can’t do this anymore.
It hurts too much.
I thought I was over you,
but apparently I’m not.
The rush I get when I hear from you
isn’t worth the ache I feel when I don’t.
And there are so many things I need to say to you
but I can’t get the words out of my mouth.
I’m afraid to say what I need to say.
I’m afraid that you aren’t as in love with me as you believe you are.
Afraid that what I need to say
will make you run away.
And yes you have changed
but not enough.
And I’m too smart than to try
because trying to change someone
is like trying to control them.
It doesn’t work.
It will ricochet
and I have enough problems
then to add yours to mine.
You told me that you would never wait for me,
that you would never wait for anyone
because if I loved you I wouldn’t have asked you to.
But to me that meant that you didn’t really love me
because I would’ve waited for you.
So how am I supposed to believe that you will wait for me now?
And how do you dare expect me to?
Because I will never ask you to wait for me again.
You talk an incredible game
and my heart aches to believe you
but I can’t believe you
I don’t believe you
because my head doesn’t want to.
I’m afraid to tell you that you broke me too much
for me to be able to ever trust you again.
I’m a Cancer
and you’re a Capricorn.
I’m a crab
and you’re a goat.
You don’t need a harness to survive the mountains
and I don’t need a lifeboat to survive the tidal waves.
But you move up
and I move sideways,
And you might love the water
but I would fall off a cliff before I reach the peak of your mountain.
