Letting Go

Letting go
The hardest thing I've ever done

At first a road of righteousness
Meant to hurt another
As time crept by my loss settled as deep penetrating pain
Neither memories nor contact gifted me release
More time passed
My pain fading to loneliness like I've never known
Repeating over and over
A constant litany clogging my mind
"Let go"

Eventually as I did for myself and not another
A peace started to settle
Softening my heart
Erasing thoughts of death
Numbing my rage against an immoral society
I opened my eyes to a new world
Hope deeply embedded in my quiet heart

Letting go of love
The hardest thing I've ever done
