letting go

for years now youve been the one to haunt me
slowly killing me backwards
filling me with guilt
you been the sliver in my palm
digging deeper inside of me
i could hold us in my palms
like sand, slipping through the cracks
you were the grain that stayed behind
the shadow behind the curtain
you were gone away but i could still feel you
you werent there but you werent gone
confusion, anger hatred fear
bottling it all up
stowing it away,
building up my wall, letting no one through
the pain you caused..physical, emotional
scars to deep to feel, fears to secluded to be real
it wasnt you, or me..fate was innocent
mistaken, misguided
growing older, maturing
moving on, realizing
the pain is from holding my grip so tight
forgiving my hands open,
feeling it all slip through my fingers
then there empty
and in the end, it all makes sense
weve set each other free of chains
weve finally let it go.
