Time has come and gone I have seen and known peace Let go I have… But in the still of the night You appear, words still linger Let go is what I hear He is no more, safe you are! Go away, leave me be …you beast Let go I have, you are no MORE!

About this poem:
Almost a year now since I ended a destructive relationship, I have come to terms with it, have known what it is to have peace again and feel like me. But every so often, bad memories appear, I just need more time I guess. Feeling relieved, thank God.
A year is really not very long of a time. It would seem natural to me that an event like this could be pretty traumatic and take a wile to fully work out of your system. Give yourself time,energy and love....elo....

Hi Spnglish much thanks for sharing your thoughts and Elo is right that in time these wounds will heal.The trauma can certainly be immence but with time these bad feelings will eventually subside.M.M

Thank you for sharing Spnglish, Both Elo & Poet are right..it does take time.
Once I was told when hurtful Flashes/memories appear, to change the replay scene (as if in a film) so that you control the outcome..change that persons face into a funny character..become the director .may sound daft..but it worked ;-)
Letting go of the past is often the hardest thing for the soul... I give you the following quote in response...
"The process of making sense of our wounds is a very personal one. But a common theme in wound healing is the universal need to forgive. If we don't forgive ourselves for our mistakes, and others for the wounds they have inflicted upon us, we end up crippled with guilt. And the soul cannot grow under a blanket of guilt, because guilt is isolating, while growth is a gradual process of reconnection to our selves, to other people, and to a larger whole."

Oh look it’s Ms Spnglish On a quest to relinquish She’s showing endurance Moving through swift currents Sorting the past Of a love not to last You’ll get there of this I’m certain It won’t be long now before you’re searching Keep us informed we want to hear I’ll be the first to stand and cheer If there comes a time upon the clock My hearts open and not under lock Just drop a line I’ll take the time Friends I’d like to be I’ll just wait and see
It has taken time, but I feel much better. It is over a year now since I walked away, his words still linger at times, but I manage to push them out of my mind and just keep moving.
It takes a lot of courage to put at peace our past and to heal from terrible hurt and loss...and as you have stated 'Let Go' is the best place to start...

On a quest to relinquish
She’s showing endurance
Moving through swift currents
Sorting the past
Of a love not to last
You’ll get there of this I’m certain
It won’t be long now before you’re searching
Keep us informed we want to hear
I’ll be the first to stand and cheer
If there comes a time upon the clock
My hearts open and not under lock
Just drop a line
I’ll take the time
Friends I’d like to be
I’ll just wait and see
