letting go again

funny thing

every time
i thought i was over you
i'd find another moment
i'd have to get over you
again

even still
i find moments here and there
i have to let go
all over again

Thank You for stopping by. The poem is all too familiar a feeling for me. Only time can heal I guess.

i loved your poem

thank you, death, for your lovely compliment. so lovely for me.

(i never questioned that i would sometime write about death, but i never expected i would ever write to death and certainly didn't expect to write after death...)

a pleasure to meet you.

what i love most about you is that you are so intimately aware of your emotions that you are able to grasp these emotions and express them. i love that you are so in touch with yourself and that your talent allows you to share with everyone else the things that you are feeling.

this piece helped me realize that about you. although all who have ever loved and lost would know the experience that you so eloquently handle, none of us could ever match your skill at expressing it. kudos! you truly are gifted. ^___^

You said it, Fem, and you said it well. It's frustrating as hell.

intimately aware of your emotions . . . that is exactly correct. You have a deep self-awareness that is truly unique. And the rest of us benefit from that awarenes. . . .

Another wonderful, self-intimate piece.


(Also, if you have time it would be nice to see you back over at my site sometime -- it's been a few weeks, I think).

This reminds me of any process we go through. Each time I think I'm done with a process, it seems as if I'm entering the tunnel from the beginning all over again. The light seems so distant.

...ahhh...have been struggling with 'letting go'..you have put it so beautifully..the poignancy of pain..that just never seems to go..you think its done..and then start all over again..
beautiful!

your words are so simple and yet so beautiful.
letting go "again" - i know that feeling so well...

an all too familiar feeling. why must we continue to feel loss over and over again?
