Letting go is quite possible the hardest thing we do as humans. This captured that process, from the pain to the (almost) acceptance so well. Love you, my friend.
Today this reads like abandonment or rejection/ The kind of love which decided that for its own protection/ It needed to let go or slowly turn insane/ And as I read my blood turns to ice inside my veins:/ It’s the kind of love with a frost-cracked cool veneer/ The kind of love which would step back and and let me stumble from here/ Still reeling – fuck! My chest is tight and I’m barely breathing/ This outpouring of ‘gone’ has filled my soul/ I know that every other tomorrow would be never whole/ Although I admit this could be just projection/ And a result of too much need for affection/ But I’ll never strive to keep who wants to let me go/ No slow-burn resentment required – just let me know/ As I wait with knots of anxiety biting and uncontrolled/ I’m preparing my mind for the shadows and dark and the ever-cold.
