Let Him Go

My heart hammered in pain,

As his shadow is here again,

I thought he was long gone,

But popped came his icon,

Damn I was wrong!

As the old memories and pain came along.

People changed,

I changed,

Maybe not for the better,

I seem torn and battered,

Like a woman fighting alone in a war,

Her anger and the monster deep inside roar,

Searching for her true identity,

While avoiding self-pity.

Let him go,

I watch him slip away,

My clear thoughts I could no longer convey,

Let him go,

To be with someone more of his kind,

Someone more refined.

This is goodbye,

And I say it with a sigh.

To let go is to not regret the past but to grow and live for the future.
