Letting Go Poem by Danny The Dreamer Boyd

Letting Go

Rating: 4.9


I wish I'd known we'd wind up letting go,
I would've saved myself one more heartbreak;
Why would you think I'd like the same mistake?
I told you I despise the dance with woe:
I'm nauseous still from all the to and fro;
My soul is sore: —I've put my heart at stake! —
I sense the losses squash it like a snake;
I wish our yesterdays would leave me so…
I wished, I wish, I'll wish, and wish again,
Yet oft I wake with sorrow still with me:
I'm sick and tired of my unanswered prayer!
It's overdue for me to break the chain: —
A captain lost, ‘n an old familiar sea! —
Alas, I don't think that I even care.

I wish our yesterdays would leave me so… I wished, I wish, I'll wish, and wish again, Yet oft I wake with sorrow still with me: ......letting go is a virtue. only the strong ones can do it...psyhologically. thanku for this message. it helps me. tony

Hello Danny, a well deserved Poem of the Day. I especially like the line, A captain lost, ‘n an old familiar sea! —, which seems to capture the mood of the poem.

Lovely Sonnet, Beautiful thoughts and words. An excellent Sonnet as old, BUT one thing I want to make you clear: I can tell you that God listens to everyone´s prayer and He responds all prayers, whether you are rich or poor, BUT as you perhaps not know: in His time, not in your time when you expect that. Sure, He will answer your prayer, never await the result, but that will come soon. a 10 for the vote. Excellent Sonnet as olds.
