How?

by Beautiful Chaos   Nov 26, 2010


How do you stop being in love?
Try, as one might, I cannot do it,
Don't know how to shut my heart off,
To lose that one little word, "in".

How do I just love you?
Let go of this selfish attachment,
That is ripping me apart,
Tossing me into this abyss.

Each facet of my being, wavers,
Quivering with fear,
Unable to envision this empty future,
That seems to call my name.

Hope eternally cementing my resolve,
Memories lulling me into you,
Wrapping me in everything,
That no longer exists.

    I agree with Britt that everything happens for a reason and I believe that is why I found this poem tonight. You have captured the emotions that one feels when trying to stop loving someone. I don't think you can stop loving someone, it seems to just move to another level, moves to a special place in our hearts. Another cliche statement, it does get easier with time, hurts less.

    ^^ This was just incredible to me honestly..you described exactly how I feel right now..why am I so wrapped up in something that doesn't exsist anymore??...Letting go, and stoping your heart from loving is one of the hardest things in love to do, but time really does heal wounds ..its a slow process!
    i loved this! So relatable for me at least!
