Isolated,
you said you were nothing.
I searched for your imperfections,
having plans to make you whole.
And yet you ran away,
leaving me to fail to understand
your unspoken heart
with isolated words.
I knew the walls you hid behind,
barriers I couldn’t fall through.
Why couldn’t I find the light?
Perhaps it was never mine to fight.
Hands outstretched, eyes widened,
searching for answers
that do not exist.
I questioned myself.
I questioned my strength.
Letting you go was selfish.
Or was it selfless?
I needed you to let me go
when really, it was me begging,
needing you
to let me
let you go.
