Live & Let Go Poem by Maya Hanson

We're hanging by a thread
on top of the world
spinning out of control
A candle flame flickers,
threatens to scorch the memories
trapped in intertwined souls

And my only choice
is to live and let go
but I can't let you slip away
This house of cards
I've always known
the wind can blow away

Broken glass on the cliff's edge
still I can't reach you in
twilight, I flash back to when
My mind was a prison
only you had the key to
I don't want to think ever again

And my only choice
is to live and let go
but I can't let you slip away
This house of cards
I've always known
the wind can blow away

But I stand by the door
death grip on your shoulders
as you lean into the sky
I speak the simplest truth
I can't let you go
I can't ever say goodbye
