What Hurts the Most

What Hurts the Most

A Poem by Brandon Mathis

When I lose control

I have lost grasp of your hold

I’m sorry that I let go

When I don’t have you

That is what hurts the most

 

It feels like tomorrow was just yesterday

My soul is numb but I still feel all this pain

I’m starting to sink in my own sorrows

When everything that I try to gain

Everything seems to get in my way

My heart has never felt so hollow

 

As another tear drops

It is like my world has stopped

Blaming me for everything that I am not

My heart is burning from your words

And my chest is steaming it is so hot

As your words begin to hurt

My heart finally begins to pop

 

It feels like death is in the shadows

Waiting for my last breath

Another day I wait to be cast out

But what hurts the most

Is to know I had to let you go

 

I see him in the corner

As I start to crawl on the floor

His eyes shift towards me

I let him know he will have to steal

This last breath in me

But what hurts the most

Is to know that I have to let you go

such melancholy, it drips in every words.
"what hurts the most is to know that I have to let you go"
~i know how it hurts, but we don't have much choice but to set yourself free and that person as well that's how we learned.
