#lettinggo poems on Hello Poetry

I’ve been so busy these past few years struggling to hold my sealing up.
Trying prevent it all form fall apart.
But in the end it’s to much.
so you just let go and let it all…. fall.
It’ll break your heart
But then you’ll realize that it’s a whole new world out there.
you just been using power,
on something that only made you weaker

Forget Me Knot

Who was it that decided that a knot should be so painful to untie?

Sometimes, a tie is loose,
It has no purpose,
It is old,
It decays!

So why do we hang on?
Why don’t we just allow the knot to be broken when its clearly no longer functional?

Its quite sad really. How a knot becomes so weathered when two ends just can’t let go.

exhale

to hate is all we know
it is safety
but what fool mistakes strangulation for affection.

although you have surrendered your icy grip on my heart
in the early hours
cold fingers still pry my eyes open
so you can seep into the edge of my vision

when i dream, you sleep beside me
when I breathe, you are in my lungs
a whisper
a steady rhythm
a constant reminder
to be burdened is all we know
it is safety

but despite that
i exhale
and i let you go

guess who's still surviving ****

Drive

Driving around town,
With the windows down,
The cold air touched my face,
I felt your hand.

Passing every streets,
I could see us at the back of my mind,
Where did the time go?
Where did we went wrong?

The songs were loud,
But the sound of your laughter was louder,
How I miss those sound,
For crying is now the music to my ears.

The lights turned red,
The colour that reminded me the trouble I had with you,
The lights turned green,
I must go now and
let you go.

I love you, be free

It hurts so much,
Loving one person to your max,
And one day needing to make a choice.

Stay and they are confused and tormented.
Or let go and he is free from your commitment.

I chose to let go…
Lord, watch over him please.
Give him the best in life because he deserves it.
I know he is strong but in times of weakness please show yourself to him so that he can believe in himself, the way I believe in him.
Lord, I love him.
I wish him the best.
-i

I chose to let go after a month of “a confusing break up” because it was no longer fair to both of us. I wish we could’ve stayed but, I could never let him give his dream up. I love him too much. I hope wherever he’d go he’d be happy. And I hope I meant as much to him as much as he meant to me.

Bittersweet

She is your queen
No one dares to deny
She is the glee
That makes your life worthwhile

You loved her so dearly
She loved you as much
Everyone can see your love clearly
That no one dares to touch.

You've fought battles with her
Countless of times
She never gave up while I couldn't even try.
Now let's get to the point before I run out of rhymes

For years we've been allies
Close friends some say
Only now do I realize
I had something to say

The way my heart felt
Just like no other
It boils and it melts
But you don't bother.

The way you look at her you always smile
How effortless she had made you fall in a little while
As she stood tall and talked to you all night

I was in bed wishing I'd be alright.
I wish I was in her place I know its no use
Because she is your happiness to tell you the truth.
I love you but I need to let you go for love is giving with no return at all.

when you finally let me go

And when you finally let me go,
Will there be burns where your hands use to be?
Will I crumble to pieces without you holding me?
Or will my wings finally have enough space to spread
and carry me away?
