I haven’t blogged since April 7, 2018. Though not my intention, it’s just the way life happened for me. I fell into a slump which halted my desire for writing. I wouldn’t call my slump depression but it was definitely a life-altering slump. You also have to know, my misery does NOT love company so I relished in silence and loneliness until I regained focus.
Now that I can see the light at the end of this current tunnel, my writing mojo is slowing cranking. Usually, when I have writer’s block, I refer to some of my older writings as a muse, if you will. Due to all that is happening in America right now, I could definitely write a political piece. However, I do not want to write about anything political. At the same time, I’m not saying “Never.” Anyhoo, I give you an over 20-year-old poem I wrote while dealing with heartbreak. I hope you enjoy it! 😉
“Let The Old Love Go”
When you no longer love, the best thing to do is set her free.
The Love you once had, just let her be.
Don’t drag her along, pulling her deeper into a slum.
When all along you knew, to her, you would never come.
Don’t make promises you don’t plan to honor.
That only causes problems, and gives more pain to ponder.
Don’t play with her emotions, when you know the nature of her ways.
Try and make her smile since you’ve caused her gloomy days.
Let the old love go, so she can peel. Off the layers of pain for her heart to heal.
Let her know that the love is gone.
Let her know if she did something wrong.
Don’t be so blind that you can’t see the pain you’ve caused.
Don’t be so conceited, the problem you won’t solve.
Don’t be so narrow-minded, that you won’t talk it out.
Don’t be so independent thinking her, you can do without.
Don’t be so nonchalant about letting her go.
Because it matters how you say it, HOW you let her know.
Let the old love go, so she can peel. Off the layers of pain for her heart to heal.
How can you look her in the face and say your love is true?
How can you tell her you love her and deceive her the way you do?
How can you go to her as if nothing is wrong?
A superwoman does not exist. No woman is THAT strong.
She may not let you know you’ve hurt her bad.
She might not even let you know she’s a little sad.
What she will do is slowly get back on her feet.
And as the saying goes, “Revenge is very, very sweet.”
Let the old love go, so she can peel. Off the layers of pain for her heart to heal.
Never settle for less when you’ve got the best.
Don’t do her wrong because you aren’t so strong.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Nothing to look back on except the pain.
The good memories she has are over-shadowed by tears.
Because NOW she knows you’ve lied to her, ALL – THESE – YEARS!
