Letting Go

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: letting Go
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: April/1986


Today
I've made
the conscious 
choice,

to let 
you
go -

The 
strangle
hold
that
you once
had
on me
is
no more -

I 
am
no longer
hypnotised
by 
your 
disguise,

and
sweet tales
of
love -

You
stole
my
heart
like
a thief 
in
the night -

It hurts
to know
that
I
was
so
naive -

Today
I've made
the
conscious
choice
to let you
go - 

I 
thought
that,

to be
in your
company,

was
like a
dream -

For
your love,

I would
walk 
through
fire,

and
feel no
pain -

And
with
all my
heart,
and 
soul,

I gave 
you all

that
I had 
to
give -

your
sweet 
story's
of
love,

captivated
me -

I was
mesmerised,

but
now
I'm
no longer
under
your spell -

Today
I've
made the
conscious 
choice

to
let you
go,

so  that
I may 
live -
