Let Go

I am letting go after all this time
The weight of your love has shifted
Like your heart, my hands are calloused
But my spirits have been lifted

Holding on so tight
to what was sure to fall
Gave me all my grip
once I realized it all

A part of me may have fallen
but the rest of me stands tall
Looking down at you now
buried beneath your own wall

I climbed mountains for you
I scaled the bricks and the blows
I climbed my way to hold on to
a lesson I suppose...

Learning to let go

All poetry is personal. Even when written tightly on a theme given by others. It comes from our experience and our feelings. This piece is written simple expressing very complicated feelings. Yes, sometimes all we take from an experience, a love, a relationship is a lesson. Thank you for sharing and I'm happy to be your friend.
Peace,

Each & every line is so true & beautiful. I cannot pick up one as my favourite as all of them are. All I wish to say is.. for all the emotions we felt, all the pain we bore, all the overthinking we went through.. a major lesson we learnt is to LET IT GO. Its difficult but the day it is learnt you are relieved, you discover a new self of yours, you stand tall, you value relations more, you are more mature, sensitive & considerate & basically you start to live again.

this is pretty solid work, it reads as very polished, there are some line breaks that i would change, but nothing major

Letting go is sometimes the only way that others will ever learn to do things for themselves. Tuff love, they say, is oft times the only way!

I can definitely relate to this poem. Great write, and wonderful flow.

it took me years to learn to let go and a lot of people think that letting go is the final chapter of
heartache, yet it is the fluid resembling blood.

well written.

Like your heart, my hands are calloused
Letting go sucks. I am a retentive person - but sometimes we must to survive. Well penned.

Letting go is always difficult but then we realize in hindsight that we actually let go a long time ago....nice one Keely.

This piece has a really nice flow KJ, could almost be made into a song.
