Letting go

The pain of letting go
yes it hurts very much so
Losing a love that you thought
was true changes your point of view.
Yet, people come and go in our life
for a temporary moment to feed us that
which what we need even in strife.
Like shadows within the night
love flickers within the candlelite
As the new day dawns the feeling of cold sets in
as we must let go of the embrace.
Yet the passion can never be erased.
Suddenly the dream is over
the harsh reality sets in of our loss over the love
we thought was real.
As sometimes quickly it rushes in like a wave
so it ebbs away just the same.
All we are left with is the pain and wonder what went wrong
as we ponder listening to a sad song.
Letting go hurts but is all we can do
for one cannot grow within the tree of life
sitting in one place crying and wondering what
what to do.

Yes often times the only friends we really have is regret
and loneliness. They will always be our constant companions
they will never leave us nor forsake us.
People come and go, good and bad they are our teachers their value is measured by how well we learned our lesson.
