Letting go


there are times when life will give us
the hardest things to do
when we have to try to forget
what was at one time me and you
the changes that come to pass
are sometimes harder than you know
and its never all that easy
to be letting go.

if only love could carry
us through all those things
if it would just rise up
and take us on its wings
perhaps we'd never have the pain
or the loss that seems to grow
and we'd never have to suffer through
the ordeal of letting go.

If I could have done things different
or said a word or two
just any little thing at all
that might have inspired you
I certainly would have given it
just so that you would know
that I never wanted to be the one
that would have to be letting go.

I always will remember
the times that we both shared
and I'll never forget the times
that you tried so hard to care
but now I must be on my way
to the future, whatever it holds
and I hope some day you will understand
how much I hated letting go.

[Mr Nice Guy]

The tears I cry today are for memories of yesterday.
Seeing you again makes it all new.
I thought that after all theses years I would be over you.
I guess I'm not and this shocks me to the core.
You wave goodbye and I stand there and watch my feelings walk out the door.
God please help me, please take away this pain.
Make me see that once was yesterday is not today.
You can't hang on when there's no rope to hold.
Just walk with your face held high and heart full of hope.
Someday your soulmate will come and take your heart away.
Today or tomorrow but never yesterday.



This poem was inspired by the threads I read.

[Mr Nice Guy]

I lie awake as darkness falls and
Listen for the sound of silence.
It touches a part of me that no one sees and only I can feel.
It's my heart laid open like a book thats being read.
Or a curtain that has yet to be closed.
It's my greatest treasure down deep the depth that no one knows.
A colour of beauty that would steal your breath away.

[T4Texas]

No matter how many days
we spend apart
I still have a place for you
right here in my heart
a tiny little nook
set aside for you
no matter what you say
or no matter what you do
it doesn't matter how the world
might spin from end to end
that little place will still remain
a refuge for a friend.

You'll always have that place
no matter how things go
if some day you come to find
you must move along, just know
there will be no animosity
no anger or despair
just someone who always cared
and wanted to be there
You've given me a gift
I never can repay
you've given me myself again
somewhere along the way.

You remind me of the Texas sky
at the end of a perfect day
when the ribbons of red reach far and wide
then fade to deepest grey
it's all a part and parcel
of the mystery that is you
I hope that I shall never lose
that moment when I knew
you were the woman I wanted to know
and to keep a little close
the one who brightened up my life
and made me less a ghost.

Take your sign of death, your raven that sits upon my heart.<<disallowed word>>
My heart is not dead yet.<<disallowed word>>
You cannot steal my soul to quench your desire of need.<<disallowed word>>
You cannot cradle my soul and expect me to just lay.<<disallowed word>>
You will hear my shouts of protest and know my wrath.<<disallowed word>>
You will know that I will not go willingly.<<disallowed word>>
I will stand up and look you in the eye and whisper in your ear with venom.<<disallowed word>>
" I am me and I choose to stand strong with hope and faith " I give this to you as my rendering, a statement, a fact. "<<disallowed word>>
This is my life's verdict.<<disallowed word>>
"I will love again."
<<disallowed word>>Take this on a wing and a prayer.<<disallowed word>>

what a great thread! Thank you Cinderella for making it and inviting us to share
I must say all of these poems hit me for so many different reasons,thank you all for sharing them here is two of mine..


let it burn...be consumed in the flames
tears stream silent falling like rain..
wash my face cleanse my soul..
bring me back out again whole..

...with each emotion comes a price
feelings are like rolling the dice
even when one is pure and true
its opposite is waiting to claim you
Ri~




in sorrow we see the better side of the you and me
in pain we digress to scared to confess
in love we are blind to all rhythm and rhyme
in hate we are consumed by the flame of doom
in happiness we feel like conquering the world

~*~Disenchantment~*~

You say I don’t exist
Yet I lie here in your arms
So how did I end up here
Once I fell for your charms?


All the times I wanted you
So close and yet so far
I could almost reach and touch you-
Like grasping for a star.


I listen to your heartbeat
And feel the breath you take,
I touch the warmth of your skin
As I lie here and I break.


But when you talk I hear you
And tears fall down my face,
When you say I that I’m not real
That I don’t have a place.


You gently kiss my lips
And run your fingers through my hair
So why did I feel these things
When I’m not even there?


To you, I don’t exist
And yet you held me tight,
As the moon left for the sun
And morning replaced the night.

I hang in the eternal still space between whistle and strike
A single exquisite banquet or a cornucopia
Will I arch or hollow
Either way a crossing on that old Windy Tree, the Gallows Horse.
