Too Much To Let Go

What to do when love

Runs dry? I can take a long walk

Past those special places

And sweep them away

Except I just cannot

It's too much to let go

Open the shoebox that's

Stowed away

Take out those golden letters

And re-read each one

The highlighted phrases

The jokes that tickled

It's too much to let go

Clear away those old photos

Screaming as the pain hits

I thought about shredding them

Along with the letters

Tied with red ribbon

Something pulls me back

It's too much to let go

I head to the bathroom

Throw out all those smells

But there on the mirror

A message scrawled in lipstick

And it all floods back

It's too much

Too much to let go

I cry in despair but need

A drink

But lying there is your glass

I smell your lips on it

And kiss it

But it just hurts so much

You're too much to let go

I call you up in floods

You rush to me

I fall to the floor with a sigh

Because I just can't

Can't let you go

And there you are at my door

And you're too much

To let go
