Driving down the road
the music ringing loud
pushing the pedal hard-
all alone in my car-
its my new cd-
excitedly im listening
song one,
quickly brings my attention
and by song two-
me its completely consumed-
let the past go-
the words did echo
give the wheel to God
quit trying to control your plot
break down, go ahead
your tears out, you can let-
its safe-
this chance you must take-
you’ve been strong
in every day trying to move on
but what you do not know
is that your still not letting the past go-
the man with a grave stone smile
dead, yet it lingers still all the while-
let him go, he’s gone
nothing but a memory, a head stone-
driving down the road
like showers, my tears fall
with my foot on the pedal
I accelerate, push and go-
trying to release his memory
courageously and bravely
‘cant get to the other side
until I say good bye’
were the words to the song
that started this moment I did not even want
fine, I’ll let him go-
as I pass the building that brought a memory somehow-
ah, it was the hotel-
the place where I alone did go-
with his letter in my hand
his words of love, I read-
I thought he was the one to heal my heart
instead, he lied, in what I thought we were
I thought he was going to be mine forever
ok, I said
good bye to the memory so faded-
blowing a kiss-
the memory I try to release-
it came and went so fast faded in the breeze
its like it almost didn’t even happen-
gone, with the wind-
that scares me, I don’t want to forget
those precious nights together we slept-
holding each other so tight-
and the way we danced and kissed
I don’t want to release his kiss
I still hold on my lips-
ah, the truth I finally release-
but I will be brave and strong
trust that I can go on-
if I must I will let him go-
I can do this, I know
going home, to the life I still hold-
put my children to sleep, their love, I tightly hold-
ok, got it, got the message-
must go on, must give my life to Jesus
must say good bye to my past-
so I can embrace the life I still have-
must put my foot on the pedal-
accelerate and go
cant look back,
leave the wind in the past-
let Jesus guide me where to go-
give him my control-
serenity blows through me
I am feeling amazing
I can do this-
getting to the other side of this
starts with good bye
and letting go of my past life-
and embrace now and tomorrow
and live my life every today and tomorrow-
embrace the gifts
learn, grow, overcome, accomplish much, live-

now i dont know which is my favourite :P
just reading this changed my breathing, the way its all put together is really good. the way you feel like the poem? i think thats what i mean. it makes you feel like you are the poem, rather than someone reading the poem? i dont know if i make sense :P
either way, this is a great write. |
