Why Is It So Hard Poem by Kathryn Miller

Why is it so hard to let go of something,
I want to so bad,
I want to forget the fight and the love,
Forget letting myself love,
Forget the utter pain,
to let go.

Why does it linger near,
To see every tear,
To see me weep and weep,
Or perhaps to see me seep into every hole I can find,
To watch me.

Why does it sting so bad,
To see me in pain,
To make me miserable,
To kill me bit by bit,
To hurt me.

Why do you feel so right,
When all I have is gone,
When all I've ever loved is misplaced,
When I want to just be sick...

I would love to know but it's true,
There's no You,
No one to hold,
No one to lean on,
No one to love.

But ahh here you come,
Calling my name,
What's that, me take you back,
After the pain,
no, no, not that again,
we played the game,
I thought I had lost,
but now it's obvious,
It was you.
