POEM STARTER
Submitted by TheQuillPen
Write a poem about giving up.
It doesn’t have to be negative, it can be about giving up something or someone that’s been holding you back.
Time
It’s time
Time to let go
Time to walk away
But I never wanted to
All I’ve ever wanted was your love
Your love
Your touch
Your hugs
Your warm smile
Until on a random Tuesday
You decided I wasn’t worth loving anymore
I felt like I was sinking
So far down
Being pulled
So far down
So I know it’s time
Time to let go
Time to give up on the idea of having you
The idea of us actually making it
Even saying it now hurts me so deeply
But I know I have to give up
Even if I don’t want to
Even if I want to say frozen in time
When I first met you
When we first locked eyes
When we first hugged
Oh how I wish I could just freeze time
Right on the moment we met
Right on our first conversation
I feel sick
Sick to my stomach
Thinking of everything
Everthing that could be going through your head
Why couldn’t you just stay
You’ve given me everything I never had
Love
Kindness
A warm expression
Everything I sat in my room alone and prayed
To God that I could have one day
And you gave me everything
But one day
You decided it wasn’t going to work out
So I guess I’ll have to give up on you
On the idea of you
On the thought of ever talking to you again
Even though we ended on good terms
I could never see you
See you as anything else
Other then someone who was the answers to all
My prayers
But it’s time to give up
Because it’s not going anywhere being stuck
Might as well just give up and move on
It’s easier said then done
But only if you knew how much I wished
I didn’t have to give up just yet
But it’s time…
