I begin……

Pain

whispered on my lips

bitten with regret

I begin…..

Heart

breaking so slowly

tears unbidden fall

I begin the process…..

Aching

my broken soul

lies I believed

I begin the process of letting go.

I have waited

longer than I should have

for you to come home.

My arms are lonely

my heart is weary

I have to let you go.

It kills me to say good bye

because I  love you

I believed in you

only to have you let me down.

Tears falling

I close my eyes

letting pain

remorse flow over

silently say good bye.

I begin the process of letting go

and building my life without you.

My heart aches……

my heart breaks….

pain encompassing 

as finally I let go.
