Hold On or Let Go

A Poem by Joey Martinez

I thought I moved on but the feelings never left
I'm back to staying up all night craving some rest
The feelings aren't mutual there's no denying that
But the courage to move on is something I lack
I'm scared to step forward and leave you behind
Because life would just turn into a race against time
Life would have no meaning if I left you to rot
I know I'll soon regret it and try to turn back the clock
And I know my heart will slowly begin to stop
I can already feel it beat slower, ready to rot
Should I keep my hopes high?
Should I get back up and try?
Or should I just let go?
Face reality and have my hopes sink low
I'm torn between the two
But I'm afraid I might rip because of you
I'll keep holding on for now
Even though no true answer has been found
