Abandon Loss

I always wanted something more from her

Something even I couldn’t understand

Something she couldn’t give me

Something she didn’t have

I couldn’t let it go

Even though I let go of her a thousand times

I couldn’t let it go

And still to this day, I don’t know why

I knew she was a star

And she shined in a beauty all her own

That beauty was not what I normally saw as beauty

But I could see it for what it was

Like something never before described

And I was drawn to it

Fire to the fly

She burned in me

And I drowned in her

No love, no more could be lost like this

You have to abandon loss

Even when you don’t understand it
