Art Of Letting Go Poem by Lendsy Salcedo

Holding you so tight
is a means for me to fight.
Keeping you in my arms
is a way to avoid any chasm.

But now that my grip is getting tighter,
I could feel you dying and become lighter.
Breathless love, lifeless love
all I could feel from you that before it was tough.

I am now the soloist fighter
of this romantic entity of lover.
Now, you are tied in my chain,
feeling the thrusts of pain.

I want you, I need you
I love you so I am not letting you go.
I cannot love and breathe without you.
Because one is not better, it must be two.

Now, people call me names.
Killer, murderer and now I am ashamed.
What's wrong of fighting and reviving
the love I feared of losing.

Now, I realized,
the things that really materialized.
I will be the master of my work, though
it is the art of letting you go.
