I’ll Let You Go Free

My heart is a bottomless pit

It is extremely more difficult

Than I would have anticipated,

To write about what’s in my heart

And my thoughts that commiserate.

***

My crazy mixed up thoughts and feelings

Are both so complicated and confused,

But you’ll find life is definitely messy

When you heart is constantly abused.

***

Every morning when I wake up, I find

That I have a new point of view,

Day by day I’m consistently changing

My thoughts and feelings about you.

***

On my good days, I find that my feelings

Tell me that I no longer give a damn,

For life is so very much better

When I live on my own, like I am.

***

Then I begin to change my mind about you

As another morning and sunrise go on by,

And just the thought of you leaving me

Breaks my heart and compels me to cry.

***

Other days I find, that when I awake I seethe

With this burning anger and rage inside,

It’s then that I can’t help wishing upon you

All the heartbreak and tears that I’ve cried.

***

It truly scares me and leaves me bewildered

When I wonder, as I’m no longer 100% sure,

If my heartbroken and scarred heart

Could ever find the ability to love anymore.

***

My once loving heart as you have left it

Is nothing more than a bottomless pit,

It holds my anger and rage towards you

But it no longer holds love inside of it.

***

So if you are definitely sure and certain

That this is exactly as you want it to be,

Then I will no longer stand in your way

And I’ll say goodbye and let you go free.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
