Leaving Behind the Endless Fields of Corn and Soybeans

Letting Go

Anagapesis, noun

"No longer feeling any affection for someone you once loved"

It's time for me to let go

It only hurts me more

The longer I hold on

I must let go

Of this town

Of these people

I loved this town

I loved these people

But no longer do I feel

That way

They've hurt me

They've let me go

And I'm still here

It's time for me to let go

I know once I'm long gone

They'll make no effort

To bridge the gap

They'll haunt me

For years

I'll have to remind myself

That I tried

I truly tried

But they didn't

And what is the point

If only one person is giving their all

And the other doesn't even care?

It's time for me to let go

As much as it'll hurt

Years from now

I'll thank myself

For letting go when I did

It's okay

To let go

I know it'll hurt

But years from now

I'll heal

I'll heal from the wounds

This town and these people

Have given me

But for now

All I have to do is

Let

Go
