Why can't I Let go?

by Marie Lana   Jan 20, 2005


I force myself to smile,
Even though it kills me inside to see you with her.
I want to be happy for you,
But my throat tightens and my mind is a blur.

I start to feel a little dizzy now,
So I slowly turn my head away.
The salty tears slide down my cheeks,
Why does it have to be this way?!?!

Numbly I wipe away at the tears,
I know that I can't make it through,
Everyone says to just move on,
But I know that I will never find another you.

Thoughts of you still take over my head,
And your picture remains on my wall.
Sometimes I wonder if you miss me,
Or if you even think about me at all.

I know it sounds stupid,
But I still miss you so.
I write in this book and whisper,
"Why can't I let go?"

    i love your poem and please read this and grade this this is my boyfriends death We had just got out of school and i called to make plans and your sister answered the phone and said holed on i will get him. i waited for 20 min. and she finally came back on the phone crying i asked why was she crying and she said she found her hung from the roof and the a song on pause and when i got over there we unpaused it and it said dieing angels go to heaven but the love i had for you was much stronger then heaven could ever hold he was my boyfriend and when i heard that song i started to cry and on the table was a note saying the life i had was not to good. he told me he loved me and that we would be together again and not to worry cause he would be looking out for me and protecting me. when i got into a car accident up in Ogden i smashed me head and was put into acoma and in my head while i was in acoma i had seen him crying and helping me get better. the doctors told my parents i might not make it and when i seen him up in heaven he kissed me and i woke up and seen my hole family next to me in the hospital and i just starting crying.
