I said goodbye to you today
There was other way
I could find through it
And then I lay
And remembered
All the beautiful vows of love
And promises you made
And how
At a very dark time
You came into my life
And filled some of my deep deep emptiness
Our connection was strong
And even now
I do not think it will ever be
Entirely done
For you are part of my journey
And sadly I may not find out
For the longest time
Who told the truth
And who lied
I only know what the confusion did to my heart
How it threatened to tear me
Entirely apart
And yet I survived
And became strong
Through all the tears I cried
I believe I am softer now
For you showed me in many ways
The truths of love
But sadly your promises will never come to pass
And so my love here
Is where I must leave you
So I can open up
The next chapter of my life
And free my heart
From pain and utter confusion
Of our entangled mixed up past
It’s hard to let go of anything we have come to rely upon, whether it’s good or bad is irrelevant almost – people, things, situations. Only a poet can accurately describe this, as you have done here so well.

Thank you so much. I am very new to this letting go, I used to hold on so tight to people, this is new ground and its great to read that this poem actually succeeded in expressing some of that process.. Bless you for this comment ❤
