Poet Destroyer A Poet Dramatic Verse

Letting Go

"Letting Go!"

Behind that garden rail
Where worms squirm and roam,
They dig into every bad part of my day
I feel them crawling, making my hide their home
They feast on my will and my dead walking soul.

Slowly I am fading away into a cloud of nothing.
I find myself reminiscing the moment I meet you.
With scars and guilt, I won’t let go!

I’m cold and miserable inside
Different emotions, I can no longer hide
I can’t seem to heal the deep cut within
Echoes twist the mood that has no meaning
I sit with a jar full of tears, holding on tight
Afraid of letting go!

The hollow walls slay in every way
The abyss of a waterfall resides in my heart
This throbbing starvation, repeats the taste it longs for
I have no control, I can’t feed without you by my side.
I won't let go!

David Waldrop July 27, 2016 at 12:13 AM My soul sinks into this poem.Once again I see myself reflected endless poetry.I see the shadow of my former self I feel the emotion the pain the suffering and anguish.My heart bleeds for the sadness in your soul.It is my hope that you see the truth.That you search for the truth.Because the truth will take that sadness take the suffering in the anguish.The truth will heal your soul.And you will never have to feel that loneliness again.Expressing your soul is difficult.I admire your courageousness
