Surviving Heartbreak

Let Me Let You Go

I was never afraid of loving you,

I gave you my all, piece by piece,

I belonged to you, heart and soul,

No one else ever mattered, not in the least.

But since you left, fear's crept in,

I'm scared to love, scared to begin.

You didn't break me, not completely,

But you made sure my walls stood high,

So no one could enter, no matter how they tried.

I need you to let me, let you go,

It's ironic, I know, that I'm the one who holds on,

But still, I need you to release me,

So I can be brave enough to try,

To open my heart and love again, to not just survive.

I've moved on, but love for you remains,

A ghost in the shadows, lingering, it pains.

I'm ready to be free, to feel once more,

But I need you to let me, let you go,

So I can find the courage to love like before.
