rage and recovery

letting you go destroyed me

letting go of someone you love

is a pain like no other

because your heart is screaming

and crying

and beating against your ribcage

as your mind calmly and quietly

severs the burning hot connection

between your chests.

life is not fair

and so often we do not get to keep

those that set our soul on fire.

in a perfect world

where children run freely at night

and kisses come with tenderness 

and love means destiny

you and i could let go of our fears

and our rage

and our hurt

and just be,

but you are a hurricane of rage

and i am a tornado of fear

and when we collide it creates nothing but destruction.

i know that loving you in silence is the only way

to save both of us,

I'm just waiting for the day i believe it.
