How can I let you go??

Can you let go of someone you really care about?. Can you turn a blind eye to their silence, their suffering and walk away when the only thing that matters to you is their smile?.

What is life but fleeting moments of happiness strung together on necklace of despair - Marian Keyes.

Life is but a riddle.

Fleeting moments of joy.. Everlasting scars...

And you sit there.. crying..

Unmasking... its wicked disguises...

Stupid heart.. Still believing..

Chasing dreams.. Long lost..

Collecting.. Shattered pieces..

Rebuilding... Broken dreams..

Flitting about..a world of insanity...

A victim.. of Time's conspiracy...

Stranded..Lonely..

Lost in the middle of nowhere..

Searching.. For a way back home...

Crying... All alone...

I tried... closing my eyes..

But it didn't stop the tears...

How can I turn my heart to stone?

Immune.. To your suffering..

How can I walk away?..

Tell me.. How can I walk away?

Just once.. Take my hand...

Let me walk you home...

As you turn the key.. I know, you will smile..

Leaving all despair.. behind..

Once You've smiled.. 

I swear.. I will walk away..

Never to be seen.. again..

I will walk away..

Back into the nothingness whence I came..

Please.. Just once.. Take my hand..

Let me help you.. When I can...

From the heart you push and pull us all over the place in this passionate and sad poetry, to want just a small moment and feel complete even without anymore is the making of a poet, we live and breathe pain and loss and cry out for happiness and love, you know how to make this work in a poem, bravo :)

Brilliant poetry I wish I could emulate this style and flow of words with the emotions so nicely entwined

[TheLostMind]

Thank you Andrew. Every poet is unique.. So are you.. :)

If only we could switch the concern off - but then we wouldnt be human any longer, we'd be robots and poems like this would be surplus to requirements.
I really liked the start of the second stanza - my first thought after reading that line "Stupid heart..." was - Wow!, I would have led with that - what an opening salvo !! But it is a great line no matter where it appears.
The sense of frustration is well conveyed throughout but also softened immeasurably with the sense of loving.
Impressive writing LostMind. :)

Thank you Anto for this lovely review. :). I think the first stanza was more of an introduction.. Then came the actual emotions. I am glad you liked my writing Anto. Really appreciate it :)
