Jo Bien Poet Verse

Let Go

I don't need your love to feel complete
read all the books, I know that's not me
and I'm smart enough to know 
about the heart I can never hold
and the hand that has been let go

it wasn't out of need
it was my heart's want
words that were whispered
dances that were done
lyrics that were sung
under a moon I thought you'd hung

the moon has a way of slipping behind clouds
the cool mountain breeze only mocks me now
the stars on which we gazed don't shine near as bright
it returns in my dreams, nearly every night
when the dawn creeps in red, I start to write

it wasn't out of need
it was my heart's want
words that were whispered
dances that were done
lyrics that were sung
under a moon I thought you'd hung

how long does it take to forget this love?
to put it all aside with memory left thereof
I can put it in prose, lyric and haiku
make it come out, any way I want it to
but I might as well face it, I'm not over you

it wasn't out of need
it was my heart's want
words that were whispered
dances that were done
lyrics that were sung
under a moon I thought you'd hung

and I'm smart enough to know 
about the heart I can never hold
and the hand that has been let go
