making space

trying to make space in this crowded room 

move some things around

put some back 

where they belong 

how to decide what to keep 

and what to throw away 

(holding on and letting go) 

I let you in without realizing the cost 

forsake my sanity 

my wellbeing 

just to avoid another loss 

the irony is not lost 

(holding on and letting go) 

open all the windows so I can freeze you out
