I sit next to you,
and hold your hand so tight,
it's as if nothing is true,
and i'm lost within a fight..
i'm scared to let it go,
scared that if i do,
where you'll end up, I may not know,
or even more, who?
i hold on tight,
as if in your hands holds a part of my life,
as if they hold my one true light,
holds me away from all my souls strife..
I let you go,
only for a moment,
I've learned to know,
to let go of the torment..
i was scared to let you go,
now i'll let you know,
goodbye....

Whoa this was a sad ending. It was unexpected as love poems go. I liked that part of this. This reminds me of the aphorism that goes: If you love something, let it go. If it returns, it is yours. If not, it wasn't meant to be.

This poem was wonderful. I can fully relate to it. It sounds so much like my life was being described in it.

I think everybody goes through this in their life whether it's trying to let go of a child fearing you don't know if they will do the right thing or your true love for you fear you may be alone if you let go.Your poem shows realistic emotions of life Good job keep going.

So sad, yet so very powerful. Full of raw emotion, and feeling. One can't help but "Feel" each line like an arrow to the heart. (sniffle...sniffle...pleases pass a tissue
) It really tugs at the soul. Beautifully writte, my friend. Excellent job!
