MY HEART FELT GOODBYE

For a brief moment it was beautiful

Feeling that love and sharing those laughs 

It was all beautiful.

 

But when you left

I began to feel that darkness that has always been there.

I'm trying to stand; 

Really I am

But it's so hard because you were one of my suns and moons

That made me smile and feel wanted.

It's not your fault, it never was your fault

It's my fault

I was too clingy on you...I was too sacred to stand on my own

But it's now time for me to let go, so that I can stand with the one who was always there.

It's taking a lot to let go- my heart aches every time you avoid me- act like you don't care...

But I...I will let go of you even when it hurts. Even when I am on my knees screaming...crying

I have to let you go

I am fine! I can stand!

It doesn't hurt...

It doesn't hurt to the point I can actually smile.


The author's comments:

I wrote this out of pure emotion. I lost a friend and I now feel lonely because I don't have many friends because I am introvert. So I wrote it all out and posted it hoping that someone can relate.

This poem is beautiful, the emotions are so relatable and real. Learning to move on and stand on your own is hard especially when you are used to a certain comfort. Thank you, this is real and beautiful.
