Letting Go

A poem about letting people go

It wasn't meant to be

that's clear to me

The antisocial bad-a*s and the quirky outcast

Sounds good on paper but doesn't last

Heartfelt hello's and pained goodbyes

where do your true feelings lie?

Poker faces in odd places

dismissing all of my embraces

A awkward confession and loving stare

all ended by your 'Don't care'

As the river of time keeps a steady flow 

I have to learn to let it go

Author's Note

This poem is very personal for me, a wrote it maybe a month or two ago and wasn't strong enough to face it until now

"I have to learn to let you go."
Wow that line..
Been there and I'm getting better and better now.. I know you can do it too. Be strong.

Great poem..

I like the second stanza and "poker faces in odd places".
"All ended by your "don't care"" is really strong. In so few lines I'm pissed off at this "don't care" person.

This is beautiful and heartbreaking and sooooooo true but sweetheart i suggest you go on to YouTube and listen to Sarah Kaye ft Phil Kay when love arrives i'm sure you'll feel better
nice work

Full of emotion, I can see why you were unable to face your writing, if the experience recently happened to you. I few small errors to fix, one as suggested by Silent Raven, and the plural of hello would be spelled hellos, not hello's.
Well done.

Verse 9: You wrote "A awkward confession and loving stare". It should be written [An awkward confession and loving stare]

Otherwise this is a good piece, well penned.

In such a short scene you have said it perfectly. Sharp, precise writing.

Powerful words and a theme that most of us can relate to. Good continuity of flow and a good rhyme scheme. Excellent writing!

You must not care so much about it. Let it go!!!!! and enjoy the show of nature and its beauty.
Good read dear.
