Peeling Away

I now have

That I didn't realize

As I was riding alone

I could feel you peeling away

Layer after layer

A long journey it has been

Since I have been on my own,

You drifted from my thoughts so easily

I don't know why it took me so long

To walk away

And leave my feelings behind

And still keep them at bay,

As I move on

Day after day

Night after night

All those years I look back on

I realize sooner

I should have left you behind.

Many kind of people. I told my kids to know the people who want you.
"I could feel you peeling away
Layer after layer"
Some people are part-time people. They don't want to stay forever. They can break our heart if we learn too late. I like the use of layers. Gave the poem a real life feel. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Leaving things behind can sometimes be good for us to do- Let the pain release from our vains and we wil flow freely with happiness again.... Beautiful work my lovely one

We all build invisible walls around us and then forget they are there.
