I have to let you go

By: Thabile Primrose Cele

Never thought my life could be so meaningless.
How your rapid departure shattered my world.
All at once my life was plunged into greyness.
I know I have to let you go... but I can't.

I masked my despair with my doomed smile.
Deep down I was grieving for times we could have shared.
I gloomily sat on my lonely bed, tears flooding my eyes.
I know I have to let you go... but I can't.

Fatefully I mumbled the words I should have told you.
The miles that separated US
Never relaxed my determination to be with you.
I hid my bitterness but my heavy heart weighed me down.

I must let you go... but I don't think I can.
