Letting Go
When I look in the mirror
I don't see me; I see him.
Only, I still see the eyes of terror.
When I begin to fall asleep,
I see that picture I gave to him.
I know it's one he'll always keep.
We got off to the funniest start.
I'll always reminisce on that day,
It is a memory that warms my heart.
He just has that one walk, smile, and hug
That makes me so happy and proud.
Like a father, he makes me feel safe and snug.
But, before you know it, the smile becomes a lie;
The hug becomes a forgotten visit.
Is it so hard just to come by?
Lie after lie, I tell the story in which he starred.
It's difficult enough to trust you at all!
I need to let go! Why is it so hard?
