Letting Go
-
A relationship can contain real love and still be destroying you; eventually safety has to matter more than the name you gave it.
-
A poem about mourning who someone might have become before finally letting go of who they were.
-
The relationship ended, but the music survived—songs trapped in a time before they knew how the story would end.
-
Before survival, there was possibility: two people standing in a beautiful doorway before either knew where it would lead.
-
Changing does not betray the woman she was; it simply means some survival versions no longer need permanent rooms inside her.
-
She spent too long putting herself on trial for someone else’s silence before realizing the crime was never being too much.
-
The same door remains, but the woman behind it no longer mistakes hunger for love or scraps for a meal.
-
One morning she stopped checking for the name that never appeared, and the phone finally became an object instead of a graveyard.
-
She had already furnished a future in her mind before realizing she was the only one still carrying the keys.
-
The goodbye arrived so slowly she mistook it for distance, until silence had already taught her how to live without them.
