Missing You

My last goodbye with you was filled with terminal fear, I tried so hard to hold back my final tear. Scrutinizing the unwanted and uncontrollable situation, Sentencing myself and pushing my determination. I can hear my broken heart crying for you not to go, Nurturing my emotions quietly hoping they won't show. Guarding the reality of loneliness and despair, Yearning your absence knowing life isn't fair, Obtaining your promise to stay strong is proving to be hard, Unfortunate for others I’m unwilling to take down my guard.

I'm writing poems about letting go, too. I guess we all go through it. "I can hear my broken heart crying for you not to go..." How many times I would've just gave it one more try if we could just reconcile. Starting a relationship and falling into it is simple. It's natural, but holding on is so complicated. Letting go is impossible. I've lost count how many times I had to let go. It does get easier.
