i let go
why must you still not do so?
i let go with so much
what is it for you with nothing
to leave me be…
why is it i cannot close my eyes and be without you
but you have cut me off
and still bind me to your will.
as i stare searching reliving ever without release
you live and leave me
staring ever after you.
is this always to be?
i reach and fall
you need not reach
and have no way to fall.
you care not knowing i can not but care
yet i let it go
i let it all go
so to not let go
of
you…

The first two lines make the rest of the poem possible. This is a fantastic way to set up a poem with this kind of emotional narrative.
“…but you have cut me off, and still bind me to your will…”
Such torment, this unfair love wrought by your callousness and yet yearned by my heart. You’ve expressed it so well in that sentence above and a few more…
I know the feeling.
