Crash Course in Goodbyes

When does one say 'enough is enough'? I have seen people turn their backs on friends, relationships. When it comes to that decisive moment, they are clinical. No quivering footsteps. No flinching hearts. No melting eyes.

I get it. Completely. Why they break the bonds they once cherished. The pleasure of being bound in someone's love is subdued and made ineffective by the marks their love leaves behind. The marks borne of jealousy, possessiveness, expectations.

This is the time to say goodbyes. No one deserves scars.

More often than not, my social quotient tilts towards abusive relationships. It's a slow poison, tainting and taunting my limits. A sure path towards self-destruction.

You remind me of soothing symphony of violins and smooth interspersed twinkle of piano. The moment the crescendo reaches, I remember our last conversation. Anger, and ruthlessness with which harsh words were spoken. Each word tugging at my heart, trying to find the raw-most nerve, and slashing the ice cold knife with a violent force I never knew you were capable of. 

But this time, I did not splutter apologies. Enough is enough.
