Let it

Let it die.  Leave it alone.  Let it go for good.  It hurts but it won't always.  I hate to think that he hurts but it's time to stop.  It is done. 
I am so sad.  I cannot do anything but remain in this sadness.  It is immovable.  Impermeable.  But it too will diminish. 
How long will it take for it to die all the way?  How long does it take?  I hope it does not take another year of my life.
