#lettinggo poems on Hello Poetry

Lupus- Aug 2020

It's really hard to believe
The words coming out of your mouth
I do my best to justify you
But it doesn't seem to work this time
Not this time
All these constant lies
How many more chances do you need
Until you finally decide to change
Do you think I will fall for them again
I have before and I was a fool for doing so
But not anymore, I'm letting you go

Not this time

Freedom of letting go

There is a certain freedom
A certain contentment
That comes with letting go

When you realise that
The sun will still shine
The birds will still sing
The flowers will still bloom
The wind will still caress your hair

When the thought of them no longer makes your soul weep
When their name doesn't fill your eyes with endless tears
When seeing them doesn't ravish
your heart any longer

There is a certain feeling to letting go
The feeling that you get when you smell the wet soil mixed with the morning air
The feeling of finally laying in your bed after a long long day

There is a certain freedom
A certain contentment
A certain ataraxy
A certain bliss
In knowing that
life will still go on

If you love something let it go
Let it fly away like the free bird
And its song will wake you in the morning
And it's thoughts will put you to sleep in the night
Like the rain's melody on our windows

anchor

there’s a heaviness in my chest
one i can’t explain
there’s a weight
                            -pulling me
closer and closer
                           to the bottom
closer and closer
                           to
the
                end.

Freedom is a Place I Once Wanted, is a Place I Now Know

I am learning to let go
Of the things that i cannot keep between
the palms of my cold and wavering hands.

I am learning how to love the silence
That comes with the peace
I so desperately wanted.

But most of all,
I am learning how to breathe,
Freely, without the heavy pangs in my chest.
I am learning, slowly ,
That this is what it’s like to be free.

Thank you

Maybe I loved you
But is time to go
The beautiful life is waiting
And I hope you can find it too

The struggles and pain
of our story
is there for a reason
I know

The being of my love
is there forevermore
Waiting
But my body can't be here, aching
anymore

So it's time to go
On this journey
And let life guide me
Through it all

I think I still love you
But I no longer think about you
I'm not over this
But I need to go

Stay true my love
For you are strong and enough
I'm sure you will find
Yourself and love

Maybe one day we will meet
Again but without any pain
Then perhaps I can give you a hug
And thank you
for all that you gave me

God I love writing, feels so good, let me know if it resonates. Take care.
