Holding On

17 2 0
                                    

I know I should let it go.

Every picture, memory,

Smile, and touch

That you ever gave me.

It won't hurt as much

If I finally let it go.

But if I drop the weights

That you left on my shoulders

And the scars you left on my heart

Then I lose the only

Reminders that you existed;

How you loved me

As I so deeply love you.

So if I have to hold onto

The burning in my mind

And the pain in my chest

Just for a piece of you

Then so be it.
