Letting go of Forever

by Alexandra Jade Brewer   Feb 2, 2008


I swore your love would last forever
I swore I'd miss you till the end
I swore I'd never let myself cry
I swore my heart was on the mend

I held on to hope, I'd see you again
I awaited your return
Day's turned into nights of pain
People thought I'd never learn

I grasped your picture closely
Wanting it to wrap warm arms around me
Needing that sense of safety
From a mother I would never see

The pain was overwhelming
I knew I needed a change
I wanted to find my own light
Although it all seemed so strange

I set out a new goal to reach
It will be a long endeavor
I needed to give myself a chance
I was letting go of forever

***For a contest might change a few things***

    Now this is very beautiful, and so sad, the flow is wonderful, and the title is great... the story you've told with this piece is one so many have had to go through, yet knowing this does not make it any easier. I really love this one... 5/5

    Its a great start. I loe the topic and the structure. The repetition in the first stanza is kinda distracting as it isnt consistent throughout the poem.
