The hardest thing I had to do,

trying to let you go.

Seeing you everyday,

I wanted to say,

What I felt with you.

Safe. Loved. Hopeful. Free.

But now I see,

That you don't feel the same.

It tortures me to see,

The sadness in your eyes.

So, now, how I say 'I love you.'

The hardest thing to do,

setting you free,

feels like it's killing me.

Posted by Pilgrim 2008-09-04 15:08:45 .... I feel the intensity of emotion with the words. Lines 4-6 threw me off and I spent too much time trying to figure out why the words didn't flow smoothly. Maybe instead of what, how? I don't know. Anyway, this is a pretty good poem. + Report this comment
