Just Let Her Go

Let her go She tried to hurt you Let her go She tried to bleed you Let her go She tried to dent your ego Let her go JUST LET HER GO She doesn’t deserve you You are the sun Blazing high in the sky Devouring everything in your path She is not even the moon For she is unable to be A mere reflection of you You are the ocean Boundless, strong, raging..FREE She isn’t even the sea Nor yet a stream She is but a trickle A trickle of a bad dream You are a volcano Shaking and quaking Erupting with passion Shooting out molten lava That sears as it courses down She isn’t even the ash That you spew out of your mouth You are the giant sequoia Firmly rooted Standing your ground Withstanding storms Proud She isn’t even a branch Let alone a twig Dying to hold on To cling to the tree You are the mountain Rising majestically Piercing the sky She isn’t even a tiny hill No, she is a valley A hidden valley of shame That sun disdains to reach To touch….to kiss To bless with warmth and light LET HER GO LET HER…….GO!!! Don’t let her color your tomorrow Don’t let her breathe in your yesterday Don’t give her the pleasure of knowing She has bruised you Used you Abused you DON’T Please….DON’T! Please, my dear friend Precious and priceless A living breathing feeling treasure Yes, YOU JUST LET HER GO! Only then can you embrace The one who comes to you Softly Gently Who will love you Truly Surely Fiercely Passionately With sheer abandon of heart and soul One who will laugh at yesterday and mock tomorrow For her love is not hemmed in by time No, it’s divine The woman of your dreams Who has heard your silent screams Awaits… Open your arms And let her come!

I couldn't agree more with this writing. This is a very necessary message for those who question their own self worth after being led astray in past friendships & relationships. Great writing!

This is very deep..Its as if there is a one sided love in a story and the other half is getting hurt..rejected.Love is beautiful but sometimes we have to give wings to those we love..If they come back to us they are ours..If not..we let them go.Appropriate title too.

Thanks, my beautiful friend. Sometimes it isn't that easy to let go. It is sad, when someone has such a claim on our heart that we feel our heart will break if you let them go, but...if the love isn't mutual, then the heart is broken anyway...Thanks for your sweet comments.
