To Let Go

Saying goodbye to you stabbed me more than
the sharpest knife could ever do.

To look into your loyal eyes for one last time
and see your soul looking back.

Sketching them into my eternal memory
so I will never lose that moment.

To kiss you for that final time
before I let you go,

it broke my heart like shattered glass
spilling tear drops on the floor.

To know that with your final breath
you released your hidden pain.

Freedom awaits you and now you are free
and I have to learn to grieve.

To let go of the most precious love
that I have ever felt.
