Poetry: The pain of letting you go

by Tracy Lynn Richards

Created on: October 27, 2009

Addicted like heroin

Longing for just a fix

Finding someway to see you

To hear your voice

Dying to taste your sweet lips

You let me slip away

Just far enough to pull me back in

Teasing....

Taunting....

Just to put me in a box

Throw me on a shelf

Up high

Like an old toy

Then when you want me back again

I will be there

Waiting....

Patiently....

Like I always have been

Painfully yearning to feel your love

Until One day

I can't take it anymore

I must detox

I must let go

I must choose to live

I must say goodbye

I cry until the last tear drops

Finally the pain has stopped
