Let Go

In shadows' abyss, where secrets lie,  

Time ticked away, beneath the sky,  

The heart beats strong, yet sober deep,  

In love's silent vigil, it silently weeps.

 

Confession spoken, a trembling plea,  

Unveiled the truth, yet failed to see,  

No echo returned, no warmth did bloom,  

Just friendship's embrace, a quiet gloom.

 

Yet cruel whispers, they pierce the dark night,  

Mocking love's dance, obscuring pale light,  

Said, "You love in ways you cannot voice,  

A silent scream, a hidden choice."

 

To quell the doubts, to stifle the jeer,  

I donned a dark mask, concealing the tear,  

A crush reborn, a masquerade's thoughts,  

To prove my worth, to silence the faults.

 

But as days turned to nights, and nights to days,  

Confession hung in the silent haze,  

Not rejection, but gratitude's balm,  

Left my heart in a quiet calm.

 

Yet as whispers spread of your imminent flight,  

My soul quivered in the fading light,  

For you were the anchor in my stormy sea,  

Now drifting away, so far from me.

 

In the depths of my soul, a tempest cried,  

As I bid farewell to love's tide,  

No longer chained by shadows' grasp,  

I release you, my love, from my tight clasp.

 

So let tears fall like a gentle rain,  

For love's journey is not in vain,  

A lesson learned, a heart set free,  

In loving, in letting go, we find the key.
