Letting go

I have carried your heart with mine for so long now I don't know how to let it go,
I felt it's pain, heard it's joy, soothed it's suffering watched as it beat both fast and slow.
I know there is only room within me for me to hold my own heart and one other,
So I give back to you what is yours that I may make room for another.


It has often been said if you love something enough you will let it go
and although you may return to me I won't want to know.
To survive and to heal we must protect ourselves from pain,
and to give up that hope is what frees me to love again.

I may never find another that breathes and moves with me,
But there is non so blind as he that refuses to see.
Live life and don't hold back, look to the future with eye bright and wide,
Move on, keep going and try to ignore the pain as love dies inside.
