#letgo poems on Hello Poetry

Ike Nov 2019

Something inside of me is dying
And I don't know what.
There are SO many people in this world
Still sticky lifeless corpse eyes
Rife with the scent of death
Left of the side of the road
Forgotten in the sun to bake.

There are even more lonely people.
Something inside me screams
"LET IT DIE"
I simply can't admit it
I don't think I have a choice anymore
It. Is.
Killing me.

It's never as bad as it sounds <3

Shades

What shade is my soul
I don't really know.
Sometimes it's dark,
Sometimes it's bright.
Just like the year
Has it's four seasons,
My soul changes shades
For no real good reason.
Just like a dog
That has been abused,
When you are near me
My soul's not amused.
I'll stay away,
You'll do the same.
You no more care,
My soul's shade is grey.

thrill seeker

I enjoy the thrill of the unknown
The uncertainty is killing me
But I'm living for it
What can I say?
I'm a thrill seeker
What's next?
What's left?
What's yet to come?
Will we ever know or just let it all go?

Soften

'They said you were the man they were looking for' I heard.
Turning the opposite direction
I face him, touching his spine
As of how doubtful I am

'Let go of the man. He is
Known to ****** you.' Elle spoke.
I know it's clear.
I cannot believe to imagine
The love
The pain
The blessings I've encountered,

The soft spoken words shivered through my mouth 'I let you go.'

Longing

I still question and
constantly doubt
myself
I seemed to have been
forced to leave
and stop
Like a gill that is forced
to function
as a nose
I gasped and suffocated,
I pawed the air
Just like expecting
for death but beg for
mercy a second
after tasting misery
It feels like a
writer who has lost his
ability to write or
a painter who is
unable to paint ink
on a blank canvas
standing in front
of him
Yearning,
longing,
suffering
Never expecting
and never ready
Just how I am
still trying
to let you go

Fall

That's the difference
between myself and autumn
I can't let you go

the trees make it look so easy

Burnt skin

Charming lucent glow,
Burnt my skin as I take hold,
Solace when let go.

it may seem hurtful, but letting go sometimes helps, no matter how big of a deal it was for you.

Let me go

If my presence
Leave a scar in your heart
Please let me go
So you won't have to torture yourself
By having me around

isolation

the isolation wasn't poison, but a drug
one that I tried to drown myself into
until my brain would save myself, breathing in more air
panting rapidly,
loving how it felt to be on the edge of letting go
for just a second, to be with the nothingness surrounding me
until the world resumed
my heartbeat became evident
and the unsatisfaction of reality reappeared
