Tina B Poetry: POEM: Letting Go

I heard an old lady say

“The older I get, I can’t see too far

But I can see things for what they truly are”

As far as my eyes can’t see

There’s a place where my heart bleeds

And I believe love can’t be

This horrific

I won’t get specific

My life’s paparazzi’s mistress, Anti-tabloids and public pictures

So I sing in a private silence

Watch his life walk by bliss

And oh how I miss him

Nothing sounds good in his goodbye

It's understood

But too permanent,

I've cried pain-staking miles across burning sands

I'm tired

So I’ll let go

Let butterfly wings spread

Let his hope live to leave his discontent dead

Logic and thought move my heart's legs

I'm walking from this

I hate this part

But they say when one thing ends,

Another one starts

God be with me

I'm single
