It's Time

I'm going through a tough break up

It's time to let go
I apologize for loving so strong and
for trying my best to hold on.
I'm sick of my heart singing to this fake song.
I need to go back within myself.
which is where i belong.
I need to move on.
It's time
to focus on what I need
Tired of spilln my soul
only to feel that you look....
right through me.
It's time.....
that i begin to believe in me
Remove the tears that stop me from seeing.
I need to find my inner being.
It's time for me to play the cards in my hand.
It's time for me to depart from Love's Island.
figure out me.
I just want to be happy.
I Promised never to walk away
So physically....I'll stay.
It's time
for me to love without being in love.
won't be easy...but it has to be done.
I'm sorry....but it takes more than one.
It's time.

Author's Note

I'm having such a hard time with this break up...my whole soul is off balance. Even had an asthma attack from being so upset...Love is a hard thing. Especially when you lose...and through all. I promised him I'd never leave his life completely no matter what happened....so I'm still torturing myself and being "friends" with him. Is it even possible? I need answers...I'm falling apart from within...and its hard for me.

I can relate to this poem myself. It really stands out to me...I really loved this...you can see into your heart with this poem. It makes you also think of all the hard times everyone has to face in their lifetime. Thanks for sharing.

i kinda got really into reading it because it's SO relateable. i can read this and say "hey, that happened to me." makes me feel less alone in certain situations.

very emotional write, I think I love this just because of that. Its hard being with someone-friends bleh- who doesnt love you back, then to have them say i love you then do something stupid to ruin it...what can i say, some guys dont know a good thing when they have it. cant say I have a favorite line because I loved it all. again very emotional, very wonderful...

your emotion spills out onto this page and it's heartfelt and pure..All I can say is bless your situation, be grateful for having to experience this pain and this will release your soul from the torment..it is ok to love without receiving love back..this is the nature of love..be in love with yourself..feel good about giving your heart with want...your life will be abundant with love if you do..

[Shante Payne]

Love the flow of this...the single two words "it's time" here and there just puts a stamp on the declaration. I love this and I can definately relate.

Awe that was nice hope you make it though the break but follow your words and at the end of that rainbow your soul will find its way.Write on!

Yes, it's possible being friends with your ex just as long as you two have a common ground about the friendship. But for now time apart is what you both and then friendship will come. Being friends right away after a break up is not going to work because the feelings are still there. Give yourself some time to heal, never feel tortured being someone's friend, it won't work.

[David W Moore III]

Sometimes you just need a break, even temporary, so the two of you can adjust to a new relationship, and then come back in a little while as friends...

We feel your pain. Having been on both sides of this fence, it's easy enough to understand through the eyes of both parties. Your poem is heartfelt, and it makes us wonder at how we've hurt someone like this, and how we've been hurt like this. But that's love, isn't it? Pat Benatar had it right; a battlefield. Love is a battlefield. Very beautiful, very intense, very heartbreaking work, Solitaire-P0ette.
