Let go

He wants

to be with

her

But he 

can't let go 

of the 

past

He wants to 

be the one

to hold 

her 

While she is 

happy

While she is 

depressed

While she is 

crying

He wants to 

hold her through

everything

But to do 

that

He has to 

let go

He must let

go of the 

past

To be with 

her

He must 

move on with 

his future 

with her

And she will wait

to be with 

him

To truly 

be with her 

She will wait

for him to give 

his heart

his whole 

heart

to her

As she has given 

her heart 

to him

the poem did good at communicating being torn. torn between two. letting go is the easy part, its the reality that things are never the same. Someone here is trying while feeling sidestepped and non-exclusive. Love starts to not feel sacred, then what. Just my take,its just what the poem surfaced for me. is a really strong write!

sadly there are so many things that hold us back, be it tangible or barricades we hide behind. if only it were so easy..

[Angel of the devil]

This is great.
I love the formatting.
I think how we structure the lines adds another layer of depth to a poem.
Nice job.

[Angel of the devil]

Wow this is very deep and speaks loudly to me. I understand both side of the poem. He wishs to try to make her whole and he wishes to take her pain but he thinks the past is what brought them together in the first place so he does not wish to leave it or he can't let go with out her help. She wants the same as him she wants to be with him now and not then. She want him to be present with here not lurking in the past. I love this one so very much. Great job. Keep up the great work. Yours truely a mad lord
