Letting go

Sometimes it doesn't work out

But you still want that person to still be about

You don't know how to feel, you don't know how to be,

Like a wave of regret rolling over the sea

Letting go is too hard for me

I still see your face in the reflection of dark

You broke my heart and you left your mark

You painted me red, you painted me blue

But you unstuck yourself from me like a piece of old glue

Letting go was too easy for you

the most important part of this very strong and genuine poem is the first word."Sometimes". the last poem i read mentioned 7 million souls, There is so much out there on that sea you mention, don't let one wave pull you under. The waters will release the glue, you will stay you!

I just wrote a poem about breakups, too! They are definitely an inspiration for art. Great poem, I like the part about "reflection of dark".

Cheers,

It is a sad reality when love is not requited as one thought it was, perhaps, this speaks the heart well :)
