Letting Go

A poem

There are some things in life that just cannot be

But no one said that applied to you and me

I tried and I laboured to make fix all our flaws

But you fought and tore down all that I built

Let him go my brain told me,

But my heart yelled back no.

Stubborn, I go on with my broken resolve,

But the bridge that I’m building just can’t seem to hold

I reach out my hand refusing to see

That nothing can save what’s left of you and me

Let him go my soul screamed,

But my heart said we’ll see.

You feign indifference and I hide the pain

Knowing all this work is done in vain

You’ve said what you said, what’s done is done

The curses you said now written in stone

Let him go my brain pleads,

But my heart won’t concede.

I hold you close, a piece in my heart

You’re inside my soul, the very life, every part.

This journey must end, you can sojourn no more,

Sucking the joy from my life, from the very core

Let him go my spirit whispers

But my heart just says please.

Months and years, as time sails away

I’ve done what is right, but it doesn’t feel that way.

My heart is aching, it misses your touch,

But I know this is what I needed very much.

Let him go I breathe, I repeat like a prayer

Let him go my heart cries as the last of you disappears.
