Gervic's Poetic Explorations

I Set You Free

I found the courage to traverse back our memory lane
I found nothing great but these tidbits of pain,
These broken pieces drenched in life's pelting rain
These thoughts that will haunt me again and again.

Time fleets in haste, now it has been a week
Those passing days were unpleasant, turbid and bleak.
But I won't let this sorrow burry me alive
'cause I still have reasons to live and survive.

Now it's time for me to forgive and forget
And cast away my fears and all my regrets
I set you free from my heartstring bond
I wish you the best, this day and beyond.

Losing you means someone else is waiting,
Moving on means something worth accepting.
Forgiving you means a life worth giving,
Forgetting you means a life worth living.

At first I thought that you are worth fighting for,
That in every second without you seems losing my war.
But I realize that your absence is something I must ignore
Then slowly but surely, time will heal my wounded core.
