Let go
The more I tried to hold on to it, the more it kept slipping through my fingers; my hands covered with blemishes As I tried to redeem it from the embers. I shut my eyes tight when it dropped and shattered into a million pieces slashing my skin and awakening old scars and my life was left with new holes and creases. I didn't peg it for a tempest when it embraced me like a gentle breeze; Gouging painful voids in my heart And leaving me in the cold to freeze. So I stopped banging on the cold doors, Which were shut right on my face . I was done running and chasing and I let go of it, like it was just another phase.
