Let Go

The memories of the past never seem to fade,
and all the while, the feelings only seem to grow.
It all cuts deep into me, like the sharpest blade,
and yet, it all happened so long ago.

I want to let go, but I'm so afraid,
There are just so many things I want you to know.
The emotions I have, just seem to cascade,
These are the feelings, I don't want to show.

My mind seems to wander, it will never evade,
I can't seem to forget, how much I need you so.
Happiness eludes me, it's such a charade,
Sometimes I wish I could shift time and fore-go.

My thoughts play out like a full masquerade,
followed by guilt and endless sorrow.
Maybe one day though, I'll be unafraid,
and I'll finally have the courage, to just let go.
