Poetic Hours

Let You Go

I gave you a choice
And you chose to leave.
Why does it hurt when I know
That I have to let you go?

I was like the moon on a clear night
And you were the rising sun in my life.
Your light made me glow with radiance
As you beamed at me with innocence.

They say if you love someone then set them free
And so I showed you two doors and let you choose
I vowed to stand firm by your decision
But it gets harder to show determination. 

I couldn't watch you get ruined
In the hands of my reckless mistakes.
You were too precious and dear to me
Our bond was fragile but I was clumsy.

You deserve better, alot is waiting ahead
I wish my arms hadn't caged you in overprotection
Now your perpeptual silence does hurt
Eventhough that is what I wanted at first.

I promised to never come in your way
But daily I wish you had chosen to stay.
You are long gone but I miss your presence,
A part of me dies everyday in reminisence.

I wanted the best for you and gave you the choice
Was it that easy to leave and easier to let go?
It hurts to know you are better off without me
When here I am dying holding on to your memory.

And now that you left
Never looking back again,
I scream to the void my woe;
Why did I let you go?

Thanks for all the love!
