letter to a friend

i am afraid to leave you
if only for the sake
that you may take that
as me quitting
as me throwing in the towel

but it's just a stance
a chance to regroup
the pawn that moves
to establish a better standing
the ability to carry on

closeness is so far away
and next door is much too close
i need a place where i can sigh
not find torment in every corner
a stranger in my own house

if fighting is stamina
i am the least of these
my best effort is simply to be
to remain as i always promised
i'll stay
