Trying to let it go.

 Trying to forget about you was the hardest thing I have ever tried to do,

But the more I cry I see the truth,

I close my eyes and take a breath but the fact still remains,

That all you wanted with me was to play your childish games,

I ache inside instead of letting it out to show that I am strong,

But the tears and memories just won’t leave me alone,

Trying to forget about you was the hardest thing I have ever went through,

Even though I still tell you that I love you so,

Till’ this day im still trying to let it go.

I love the deep feeling of your work

sometimes, though, some poems are meant just for the person they are written for. Maybe this is one. Thank you for sharing it. And don't take that crit to heart, I am a cynical old bastard who reads about 30 new poems a day. Others may be personally touched. cheers, Jess
