Let Go

A Rhyming Poem I Made

By rebeccaPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

I watched it happen from the window,

I saw him finally let himself go.

He hadn't been out for long over a week;

I didn't think it'd be this bleak,

He didn't think or sleep...

All he did was sit and weep.

After some months, I thought it got better;

I thought he had himself together,

But it took a turn for the worse

When he watched his daughter get carried on a hearse.

There wasn't coming back from this

He was broken, never to be fixed.

I watched from the heavens one dark night

But he was done fighting the fight.

I couldn't save him I hadn't the time,

Then I heard the death bells chime;

So I watched my best friend die...

For I was already up in the sky.

Where he did not join me, I found out why.

I cannot say but listen well...

Be good to your family, or you too will end up in hell

I watched it happen from the window

The night I realized he let himself go
