Holding on

Letting go may be agonising

But holding on is surely more so

You see, painful things continue to hurt

Yiu give them your sound only to have it torn apart

you give them your respect only to lose it

You give them love till there's none left

You give them yourself only to be destroyed

We are told to tolerate the unacceptable in name of love

Told to destroy our own unique selves in hope for finding love in a stranger

Thats what love stories are made of

Mortal being with immortal stories

It's just what we're taught

But it's okay to let go

Tolerating bullshit is not a testament of your love

But letting go is surely a testament to self love
