Letting Go

Learning to let go I learned patience too early Forgot I’m not taken granted I thought I held my breath, so not to breath for life I held so close to broken pieces, forged together. You never noticed I was before you As if I held a mirror before you morning, Invincible to even think, I did not exist Cared not what I was to say, but felt pity. What time wasted, but no worry it has passed For who has even lived for and the past? But memories of old, I don’t know about the future Who is to hope for what is in the past, instead of- Moving on like you never knew existence of me. Telling the truth is the only lie I ever told you I like you was not enough, loving well mostly used, Perfect, well you already know, beautiful as told Always, a puzzle I can’t fit together You complete me would be expecting a question You brighten me with your eyes, I’m sin free Making me smile, for mind changes looking at you Like apartheid written in my eyes, I even forgot And you just can’t seem to unplug me for a new one Question not yourself I will forget you, if you want Don’t imagine me, you never even thought of me.
