A part of me

Everytime someone leaves, they take away a part of me
Heaviness dawn upon the fragile heart
Eyes fills up, yet trying to hold on
Yet the end of the day, storm inside burst out in unfathomable ways.

I may be never understood the part of me that never learnt the art of letting go;
Maybe i would find it easier if they dindn't say the last bye or any last words,
But yet time and again as they leave all one by one they do
And here i sit down and breakdown with the heaviness and sorrow from unknown sources.

Thats the part of me i never understand.

I don't find goodbyes easy either. I don't find it easy to let go and move on. Whether it is a relationship breakup or a death, I always find them difficult. It takes time, and I do believe if people are honest they would say the same. Nicely expressed writing. I could feel your hurt.

Thank you Christine for such warm review. And also for understanding me that means a lot.

[Chris Shaw]

You are welcome.

I can relate to this. Although im the one who walks away, i do not let go as fast as i turn my back.

Yes goodbyes are never easy. Saying goodbye first i too believe is much easier than being left behind.

Probably, but it also evokes a different kind of pain. One takes the responsibility of letting go first and the other has the ability to lash out at being left behind. Fortunately I never let anyone go without a good reason. I spent ten years being left behind and decided enough was enough, it's time I start building my own relationships the way I should've been. If you're the one letting go, you're the one whose more wary of the next relationship you walk into, not wanting to go through the same feeling again.

Letting go is a big problem for me, it could be a relationship, or death of a loved one. It hurts so bad! I know that nothing lasts forever, but it would be nice to keep people in our lives a little longer.

I too hope we could hold onto some people a little longer if we could. Saying bye has never easy for me.
