Letting Go


I lived there, listening
In the turmoil of the trailer park
For many years, through tears

Time passed by as I watched people 
Move in and out, in and out
Never staying there for too long
I wonder where they’ve all gone

The moments ticked on, moving
Across second hands, along the lines
Of goodbyes and lost ties that leave 
The heart feeling like it has a gap
Where the blood might leak out

I drifted to sleep at night
After whispering prayers

Huddled behind  my quiet peace 
There was a silent scream 
Echoing through my soul without control

Not once did I dream 
Of the laughter 
Laughter that
Would come when
I let go of the past
