Letting Him Go
She slowly slips into the night
Dreaming of the time when things were right
Longing
To just one day have a chance
A glimpse
Some kind of sign
Battling her inner voice
That tells her she has no other option
No other choice
But to let it all sink in
This desperation
This solitude
She vividly does her best
Gain embodiment
A woman
With a somewhat graceful poise
This feeling can't last forever
It just can't
One day she feels like she can make it
The next
Is all an endless rant
Emotions are too much
She doesn't quite yet know how to let go of
For if she does
It's like she is somehow letting him go
So every night
She slips further
Into the darkness
Excluding all slumber
It's as if she waits
Dedicated
Medicated
This constant feeling
Taking over her life
Succumbed to be numb
They get longer
These nights of endless torture
When will the moment come
When she will long for him no longer
Just waiting for something...
Somehow there has to be a sign
Meant for only she
Someone whom she has clung on to
Ever so tightly
She,
Knowing he will never show
He,
Memory after memory
On and on they go
She wants to...
She needs to...
But she won't
Let him go
