Cut Your Losses

Cut your losses.
Quick!
Do it now,
While it's still fresh.
The longer you wait,
The more danger she'll be in
When you actually do.
With you,
It'll hurt 50x more
Than with anyone else.
She's used to people
Coming in and out
Of her life,
But no one
Has ever returned.
That makes you special
Yet much more deadly.
You could mean
The end to her,
To her sanity,
To even her life!
That is,
If you choose
To wait
Until it's too late
To cut your losses
And run.
