Letting Go
The pain cuts so deep When you inhale you can't take a full breath It's all so heavy It seems inescapable Every word, every sound Takes you back It seems as if you will drown in your own sorrow Sorrow for what was Sorrow for what it is Sorrow for what it should have been Tears pour out from the depths of your being Will this pain ever end? Will things ever be normal? How long must I stay in this wasteland? It is such a dry and lonely place Thoughts don't even seem to linger here You search for a lifeline for yourself The only problem is they never tell you what to do when you are the lifeline for others Moment by moment is how you are functioning Emotions hit you in waves Knocking you to your knees After awhile you realize your only hope is found in letting go Letting go of the pain Letting go of the past...even the present and future
