holding on to the past
is a burden in itself

holding on to something that has left your grip
is a burden in itself

wasting energy on thoughts, actions, feelings, and moments
is a burden in itself

i promised myself
to move on this time
swiftly and gracefully
without embarrassing myself

why can't i let you go my dear
why are you the weight that keeps me afloat
why are you the breath of fresh air in my lungs
why are you the bread on my table
the wine in my blood

why are you still a part of me
