Letting Go Poem by ANGELICA MACHADO

Letting go of someone you love
Is like tearing off
Pieces of your skin
With the hope
Those wounds
Will heal.

Letting go of someone you love
Makes you think
There will never be
Another person you
Can love
Like him.

Letting go of someone you love
Gives you freedom
From thinking about
That someone
Every hour of the
Day and night.

Letting go of someone you love
Opens up the possible
The tomorrow
A open door, where
He tried to close one
To the new.
