I Need To Let Her Go

BlakeDissolving

her face appears in my mirrorher face appears in my mirrorshe shows up in my reflection, her voice and words play in my headover and over, her smile and laugh remind me of the good times, our memories appear in my dreams, my dreams turn into nightmares, nightmares because i think of what could've beenbut it's holding me down, holding me back, i smile and i think of her, but it's not worth iti'm her stranger, her regret, her mistake, her forgotten memory, her ugly scar on her wrist, her razor blade, her sadness, her sickness, her hate...all i can do is let go, my skin bleeds and my hands have turned white and pale and reveal my bones, i've been holding on too tight, and falling too hard, why kill myself slowly, why create new scar,

  • BRIAN & ANGELA

    WELCOME BLAKE ~ Thanks you for sharing a very poignant but true first poem. I'm 33 and still single and I can empathise ~ it happens and will happen again ! Love between two people is usually NOT permanent. That is why over 40% of marriages in the UK end in DIVORCE ! In my experience "Love Affairs" have a limited span (5 - 10 years ?). The problem is (as your elegant poem states) the break is never clean ! I have ex-GF's I am still passionately in love with and other of my ex-GF's are still on love with. I could have got married (maybe I should have ?) but perhaps now I too would have been a divorce statistic. Were Humans designed to be monogamous ? The only consolation I have found it that the rewards of passionate intimate love are so so rewarding that I have always been able to move on and move on and move on ! Love really is a many splendoured thing ! Yours BRIAN

    I love the message in this poem. I have felt the same way about the people I have lost...It's really hard to move on but writing about it helps A LOT.
