Let Go

By Sukhmeet Kaur

you slipped into my mind

like a shadow in the night

uninvited, yet u linger 

turning wrong into right

every silent moment echoes with ur name

a haunting melody that sets my heart aflame

i know it’s not a love that ever could be real

but my heart keeps on fighting for the things it wants to feel 

tugging at the seams of reason 

drowning in this ache 

caught between acceptance and the dreams i can’t forsake 

it’s exhausting how u linger in me

rent free in my heart where i wish i could be free

i tell myself to breathe

to let go of what’s not mine

but the echoes of ur laughter still dance within my mind

so i’m learning to let go of what’s was never mine to hold

to find a little peace within this story left untold 

time will dull the edges

i’ll find peace in this fight

maybe one day ill wake up and see the morning light
