I let you go

I let you go.

Today I opened the door to the cage around my heart.

I slowly pulled each memory out, smiled, cried, kissed it and held it close one more time, then opened my hands and watched the soft beautiful butterflies with gentle colours fly free.

I let you go today.

Healing from a broken heart takes time, but when you decide to start the process, it's like those butterflies released in the free wind...SM

I like butterflies, I think they are like birds, they should not be kept as pets, but be free to fly.

Today is a melancholic day, but ultimately a great one. Written from the heart.

Best wishes.

Letting go all we fear to lose we have all we need

Enjoyed reading your poem what a healthy thing you did for yourself you did a huge thing I’m trying slowly and I will get there, so I am so excited you I bet you were at peace and it feels wonderful

Thank you for the gentle words everyone, yes letting go is good, still raw but finding peace slowly, something intense that you open yourself up for will leave you bruised, and that never fades, you just learn to cope with it.
