Poem about Farewell: "Letting Go"

Letting go is an act where you release something/someone that you hold on dearly, something that is not worth enough to be yours, and something that is not meant to be forever. This poem is a tribute to someone whom I adore so much, but fate is our foe and we cannot do anything to combat the will of nature. It’s hard to forego but it’s the only way to ease the pain and to stop the wound from bleeding.

How can I move on

when you’re the reason

why my heart keeps

on beating?

How can I forego

when every time I take a pause

your visage lurks

inside my head?

How can I stop crying 
when you're the only one

who make my days

complete and happy?

How can I hide the pain

when my heart yearns

for your love

and caressing touch?

How can I forget you

if you’re the only person

who made my life

move in sync?

How can I neglect you

when you’re the most

important person

I’ve ever had?

How can you say I’m nothing

when yesterday you told me

how much you adore

and love me?

How can I’ve been so drowned

by your sweet lies

without knowing you’re

just playing fire?
