Letting Go




She sought fulfillment,
Sought togetherness
All she got were
Vague promises
Of a future that
Didn’t exist
Even in his dreams.

Her woeful pangs

Of longing and pain
Were received
By hopeless words
Of understanding,
To have patience
That stretched infinitely.

Immersed in her agony
She didn’t sense his…
Didn’t smell his fear
Of losing her in this lifetime
His choice, his decision
Having no place for her

And yet…
He couldn’t set her free.

He wanted it all
Both worlds…
His legacy and his love.
Wrenching her heart
He was oblivious
To the endless distance
That crept stealthily…
Till one day she set herself free.

                                              Free to hope for a
New day…
Her love buried for always in
The deep crevice of her heart
Never to be resurrected.
Carrying within the burden
Of a pain numbed in time.

    It's beautiful...pure emotions of the heart.Loved it.

    Love is like a chewing gum.It tastes sweet till it lasts.In a life we let go so many things.We don't want to but we have to because those are the things that keeps us away from happiness.Pain is part of life and we should be ready to accept it and then happiness will follow.

    i was reflecting on jessica's recent post and this is the second part... 'letting go'... all i have to do is to say "this is it...NOW"... but i guess there are still strong emotions attached to those memories... and i have to take time to respect those feelings... even my confessor says that...and i'm waiting for my own resurrection...

    oh geez rimly, my eyes are filled with tears again :P...and it's only monday :P
