I will watch

the world

as it falls.

The colors around me

will melt and

slowly,

ever so slowly,

they will wash

over me, and

the image

that I have been

holding onto

ever so

desperately

will melt

and wash away

with the rest

of the world.

And,

finally,

I will be able to

let You go.

    Really wonderful, and relatable. Something all poets should strive for. Letting people go is an odd thing sometimes you have to fight to do it, other times you fight to hold on and they still slip. Keep the poetry coming. But kept it real, keep it beautiful.
