Time To Let Go

Laying here staring out the window
The stars glistening through the tears,
Do I stay, or do I go?
If only I could answer simple,
Years ago I was naive
Thinking I could endure alone,
Yet you promised to try to be here,
I knew the day he came
Into my world that I was alone,
Though I kept hoping and needing,
One day you seemed to change,
You promised a whole new world,
But I am still alone,
Diagnosis came for my little angel,
He needs you more than ever
To help him walk this rough road,
Promises broken, tears and hearts following,
My love for you is the same
After these lonely four years,
But if I keep hoping, he keeps hoping,
Each night we fall asleep disappointed,
I suppose it is time to cease waiting
On a broken promise to mend,
Time has come to let go
Despite how it may break my heart so,
Time to force a smile and be strong
For our angel asleep down the hall

About this blog...

All poems posted here are written by myself, and I hope the ownership of my work will be respected.

I am 25 years old, and have been writing since I was 8. All poetry is dedicated to the teacher, Miss Charlotte, who first introduced me to this genre of writing.

Challenges

I use several writing prompts, mostly photographic prompts, for my work. Often when I am not consumed by a thought or emotion, I need a little help in writing. I subscribe to two photo blogs as listed further below for prompts. I also take challenges to write about random words on my Twitter. A new challenge I am using is from Deviant Art. I look at the first page of the most popular photography in the last 8 hours and take one to write about.
