Set you Free

about a girl giving up the one that hurt her the most.

Bottled up inside
are the words I never said
the feelings that I hide
the lines you never read

You can see it in my eyes
read it on my face
trapped inside are lies
of the past that cant be replaced.

with memories that linger
won't seem to go away
why cant I be happier
todays a brand new day
.
yesterdays are over
even though the hurting not
nothing lasts forever
I must cherish what i got

dont take my love for granted
for soon it will be gone
all I ever wanted
was to be deeply loved

The feeling for you now
wont disappear over night
but someway somehow
everything will be alright

no more thinking about the past
it was not meant to be
and it did not seem to last
so I'm ready to set you free

sad but good. I'm sure everyone can relate to this poem. Make sure you add apostrophes and all that jazz...this is a good poem but the flow was interrupted by the lack of them (aand wont is a different word than won't). It's funny how hard it is to let someone go when you know it's the right thing to do. Very emotional, I liked it.

Very familiar!
It is hard to let go but it is better in the end.
If you take a band aid off slowly, you feel every pulled hair, all the pain. In the end the wound is still exposed and you hope that it was healed. And if you pulled if off when the time was not right, you still have the wound to contend with.
But when the time is right and the healing is done, pull the Band-Aid off quickly and just walk away.
It is hard to let go but it really is better in the end.

I see emotion...so, good on that part. I would love to see some of the cliche sentences and statements replaced by some beautiful metaphors or similes you came up with to describe your emotion. That adds depth to a poem.
