It hurts
to let go.
Sometimes
it seems
the harder
you try to
hold on to
something
or someone
the more it
wants to
get away.
You feel
like some
kind of criminal
for having
felt, for
having wanted.
For having
wanted to
be wanted.
It confuses
you,
because you think
that your
feelings
were wrong
and it makes you feel
so small
because it's so
hard to keep
it inside
when
you let it
out and it
doesn't come
back. You're
left so
alone that you
can't explain.
Damn, there's nothing
like that,
is there?
I've been there
and you
have too.
You're nodding
your head.
