Katherine Beth Poet Dramatic Verse

Letting Her Go

I am going to miss her 
I already do miss her 

I feel regret 
regret for always fighting with her 
not always being by her side 
our lives will never be the same when she leaves
our heads will never be under the same roof again 
there will be an empty seat at the table now  
an emptiness in my heart 

there will be days when I need her the most;
to make me laugh
to wipe away my tears 
but I will run to her room to find an empty bed 
only to remember she is gone 

why does life move so fast 
it isn't fair 
don't let her go 
please don't 
I hope she knows I love her unconditionally
I hope she knows I can’t live without her 
I hope she knows how much she means to me 
I hope she knows I am scared

we must never live our lives in regret 
for if we dwell on what could have been; 
what could have been done 
we sit in sorrow
unable to find the strength and motivation to live on 
the moments with the people we love feel un-cherished 
but it will be okay 

we will all find a way to keep loving and keep living 
even in the moments when we want to stop and stay right where we are

I will be okay
Maybe if I keep lying to myself it will get better

I am okay

-Katherine Beth
