LETTING GO

~ thereluctantpoet

By Nichole Sulpizio And Charles Robert Lindholm

She Heard The Door
Firmly Shut Behind Her
Then Slowly Turned Around
To Take A Final Look
As The Whisper From Her Heart
Said,

“Sometimes
There Is No Going Back”

Tears Welled Up In Her Eyes
But She Gently Wiped Them Away
As She Softly Bit Her Lip
And Took The First Steps
Into A New Life

Sometimes
Goodbye
And Letting Go
Is The Only Way
Your Heart Will
Feel Like Dancing
Again

    1. Thank you so much, Dear K for spending time with my archives!! My word have told me to tell you that they are “In Love” with You!! I’m so grateful for your precious time, My Dear!! I would really appreciate it if having gone through so many of my poems if you would let me know if you think any make you feel that they are worthy of being included in my book! I would really be honored if you could??

    1. OMG, Jeanne, I think you have succeeded in making me addicted to having you read my work!! You make the very best selections! I look at what you have read and commented on and I can’t believe I wrote that!!! You, My Dear, have a very great eye/ear for poetry!!! I’m in awe! Maybe we can make an “arrangement”??

      I’m so indebted to You, Sweet Jeanne, for all the sharing of my work that you have done! YOU are the SWEETEST!!!
      Big Hugs and Love,
      Chuck

    1. So happy to hear you were able to let go and move on!! It’s not always easy for some!! Maybe You can write about your decision to leave to help others that aren’t as strong and need a nudge???
      Thanks so much for your view and sweet comment, My Dear!!!

    1. Thanks so much, Goff! I truly appreciate your consistent support for me and Nichole for this piece too!! Letting go is hard. Much easier to stay in situations that don’t let us be ourselves!! Have a great great week, My Friend!!
