The heart shivers and
cries within for the
unnecessary hold of
the one loved before.
The heart unresolved
by reason of the past.
Feelings from way back long
before surge into the heart.
The soul still has not fully
recovered from the hurts of
the one loved long before.
Still reminiscing about
what happened to us.
Can I ever even be alright.
I still wear the garment
of the past,
it's still tight on my skin,
seems as if i won't let go
from the grip that easily.
I gave a piece of my heart away.
That is the price I must pay
for loving too much.
But to let go I must,
if I must get on with my life
with dignity and respect.
Happiness awaits me,
for the heart must have another.
I know I must forgive to set myself
and another free from this self prison.
But forgiveness does not mean
that I want you back.
What does it even mean
if I must ask,
it simply means I have to
let you go for my own peace of mind.
I must go away because,
another phase of life begins,
for another one who loves me is waiting.
