Let Go

I am letting go after all this time
The weight of your love has shifted
Like your heart, my hands are calloused
But my spirits have been lifted

Holding on so tight
to what was sure to fall
Gave me all my grip
once I realized it all

A part of me may have fallen
but the rest of me stands tall
Looking down at you now
buried beneath your own wall

I climbed mountains for you
I scaled the bricks and the blows
I climbed my way to hold on to
a lesson I suppose...

Learning to let go

All poetry is personal. Even when written tightly on a theme given by others. It comes from our experience and our feelings. This piece is written simple expressing very complicated feelings. Yes, sometimes all we take from an experience, a love, a relationship is a lesson. Thank you for sharing and I'm happy to be your friend.
Peace,

letting go is a great thing to do all those unneeded emotions

[MoriartyMesa]

The more of your work I read, I feel it is directed to someone. Maybe, but I feel that the emotion you drive, should be given it's own life.





just my thinkin,

You give, they take. Then you give some more then they take even more. Give em an inch, yada, yada, yada. Good personal feel to this.

But my spirits have been lifted (But my spirit's been lifted)

Gave me all my grip (Giving me all my grip)
once I realized it all (once I realized it to be true?)

Sometimes we hold on too tightly. I have felt this before. We squeeze a thing, try to cage it, capture it, keep it and MAKE it love us, but sometimes this is just not possible. An apt write.

This is a moving poem, Keely; it's so hard to let go sometimes, but so important.

Life's lessons are only learned the hard way. Great write.

"A part of me may have fallen
but the rest of me stands tall
Looking down at you now
buried beneath your own wall."
