Elegy for the wounds that raised me
I do not know if I fear you, thank you, or hate you for hanging round. I fear I'd been somebody else who stands on solid ground. I thank you, cause you made me this, but I hate the reasons why. I fear it might just free my soul when you finally say goodbye. I hate you...

letting it out
i start my piece my fingers dance across the black and white keys they carry on the slow, jazz beat it gets louder and faster till it becomes slow again my fingers land on the keys over and over again till the music stops with a dramatic finish and when i leave the piano i’m not angry anymore. ...

Letting Go, Trusting You
Everything feels like it’s right, There’s no reason to take flight, Yet inside, it’s not quite right, Still feels heavy, not quite light. I said “yes,” or so I thought, But something keeps me standing still. I want to give You all I’ve got, Yet part of me resists Your will. You see me trying to let go, But there is still something below, A...

Pursuing and Letting Go
I run after a shadow, not quite mine, but one I want to be. Perfect in my eyes, not so perfect in others’. Trying to change because of judgment you’d never expect. In fact, it is true people whisper and hate. But years will pass, and they will learn their own flaws are just as clear. We all chase shadows, sometimes close enough, but some dreams aren’t meant to catch and that’s how...

Let It Be
I gave my heart, it bled so deep, Tried to hold on, but couldn’t keep, Nights were cold, tears fell like rain, Whispered low, let go the pain. I searched for love, but it slipped free, Flickers lost where light should be, Through all the hurt, I learned to see— Maybe sometimes you just gotta let it be....

What Do I Hold?
I see the shadow in your eyes, The quiet war you try to hide. Still, I stay, still I wait-- Drawn to every twist of fate. On a bed of thorns, I close my eyes, And count the tears I can't disguise. What do I hold, when your hands let go? What do I keep, when I already know? I can't breathe in,...

The Edge of Goodbye
I saw him in the corridor — my mind stopped for a moment, all my emotions rushing back, stunned, yet I kept walking. Once I was away, I crossed a wall — and broke down, tears flowing down my cheeks, words unsaid I couldn’t hold. I wanted to stay, to hold on to him, but I needed to go — to let go for my peace. I saw...

DO YOU REALLY NEED ALL THE ANSWERS?
I know you’re still trying to make sense of what happened. Maybe you won’t get all the answers, and maybe that’s not what you need right now. It’s okay to feel heavy this morning. It’s okay if you’re not okay. Letting go without having every reason doesn’t mean you’re giving up. It means you’re choosing...

Premium Member letting go, just
I watch him gathering days in arms, like handfuls of sand, spilling, pouring, into an hour-glass with never a grain lost. His voice, once sweet and melodious, cracked, now fed on adult's breath. His steps impress, they sink deeper into the dirt, confident and sure-footed with knowing. He no longer looks back to make sure I’m still there to care and watch. In fact, his furtive...

Premium Member A Kind Of Letting Go
Vice like grip unseen yet tight Pressure building through the night It bends the light distorts the sound A silent storm where pain is crowned My temples pulse in steady aches Like thunder’s growl before it breaks Yet in its grip a lesson found My mind is strong though pain is bound Then comes relief in a soft embrace A quiet calm with a...

Letting Her Live His Life
I was never here for passing time, Never here for love denied. I thought we’d walk this road as one, But love has left me far behind. If I love you, how can I not break? When you are not mine to take. To watch you smile, yet stand apart, It slowly shatters my fragile heart. You say that friends we still can...

The Little Chase
Sky so blue, grass kissed with dew, Tiny feet dance on a path brand new. Chasing a butterfly, drifting away, Breathless giggles, silky hair in sway. Stops in her tracks, Let it fly high, Fascinated, waves goodbye with a smile...

Letting go
I should have stopped at a simple hello a wounded text that has now scarred me for life You did everything right like u knew about my broken heart what a perfect stranger I thought... I attached myself to a doorway One that lead me straight to you I knew I should have stopped it but now u became a face "Youre touch was...
