"To Let It Be..."


With the best of convictions...
Desperately do you try...
Picking up the various pieces of broken
Life...
Love...
And promises...
Bitterness bites in
Seeping in through the cracks
The light within is just a little more dim
Actions counted...
A life plan now abandoned
Emotions call out
Hands reach
Feet are ready to run
Tears stream down
Washing away the hope that remains
Everyday you are reminded...
That the pain demands to be felt...
Not avoided
As the list of realizations hit
Some subtle...
Others ever so fierce...
These moments define the path you take
Among the many struggles
How do you make yourself believe?
That you are worth more than forever waiting for someone else to be ready to love
Or to be considered good enough just the way you are...
But regret is too heavy to carry with you always
So how do you tell yourself convincingly...
That if someone wants to walk out of your life so eagerly...
Seeming to be so easily...
We are to let them go?
