I Can'T Let Go...Yet Poem by Lizelle 'Leasel' Martins

Does it ever get better
Will it ever get better
You flood my mind
Willingly I participate in these thoughts
But at what cost
I need to let go
Need to let you go
But my heart
My mind, body…
All of me
Can’t let go

Time can be so cruel at times
What have we ever done to time
We were given so little
Yet sadly snatched from us
All I live now with
Is all the ‘if’s’ my mind plays with
I smile through these tears
Tears of sadness, love, longing and anger
I need to let go
But I can’t bring myself to it

I loved you from afar
I loved you not even knowing
I love you..
I still love you
I need to let go
But I can’t…Not just yet..
