Letting You Go

Break up

Before I go to sleep

Even when I wake up

There are a lot of questions

Keep popping in my mind 

What happened to our love?

We used to be happy

We used to build our dreams

Why it’s happening to us? 

Why I’m the only one who’s hurt and you’re not

Why it’s so easy for you and so hard for me

Why not that you cared and not that it mattered

What did I do wrong, to make this thing happens 

For this truth, I wanted to get angry and hate you

But I can’t contain myself in loving you

Once I learned this truth, all I can do is cry and accept the reality

That I can never hate the person I love 

You come and go like waves in the ocean 

You change moods like seasons change weather

Sometimes you act hard like a rock

Sometimes as light, soft, and nice as a feather

I held your hand for as long as I could,

But I grew weak as you pulled and pulled

My heart is broken when you say it’s over

My tears fell and my heart is shattered

As I stood there and watched you go,

I wanted to hold you and never let go

But the time came when I realized,

You never felt this way and I should let you go

I love you more than I've ever known

My love for you is true and pure
I don’t really want to give up and say goodbye

But I do need to understand that it’s the time to let go 

As I write this poem I’m hurting inside

‘Coz it’ll be the last

It’s sad that I can no longer make you happy

And it’s the time to let you go

this is a good piece and I liked how you used metaphors in expressing on what you felt. maybe clean it up just a little bit and "what have I done wrong.." sounds better in the third stanza, last line but over all i liked it, please keep on writing, you're good :)

I have no words to express how this poem is. It touched my heart. Every word every sentence is well written from the depth of your hert. Your words screamed love for that person. Very well written.
