Letting Go – Prachee Shah
They’ll try to break your bones
And rape your soul
They’ll suck out all the love you have
And leave you all empty
While you’re out there spreading words of their kindness
They’ll be playing the victim making you look bad
Oblivious of their game play,
You never stop loving them
And the day comes
You find out the truth
Hell breaks loose
One way or the other
You’ll be hurting
Trying to make sense of all this
How? Why? What?
Left all confused
You’ll try to see the good
They’ll apologize
Say how much they’re hurting
And how much they re ashamed
Never once acknowledge your pain
But you’ll be blindsided
You’ll be manipulated again
Thinking that they’re actually hurt
You’ll try to make everything normal
You’ll put in the efforts
You’ll be the one apologizing
And you don’t even know why
But, trust once broken can never be the same
The nightmares, the anxiety and all the mind game
You do everything you can
To protect your peace
I know it’s hard
When they’ve turned everyone against you
I know you’re hurting
Thinking what wrong did I ever do?
Eventually you realise
That you’re all you need
The love you gave them
You now shower on yourself
You don’t waste your energy on them
Neither positive nor negative
You let them play the victim
Cause you’re the survivor
You stop trying to make sense of why
You no more try to defend yourself
You’re tired of all the drama
You accept that they can never change
Healing takes time
And you’ll get there I promise
For they’ve lost a beautiful soul
And you my love,
You’ve gained your freedom
