Letting Go.

The hardest part of getting my mental health right is trying to let you go.

My head knows you’re bad for me

but my heart still cares.

My head says he doesn’t want you. My heart says maybe he does.

Over and over they battle

My head is right, but my heart?

My poor love sick puppy heart?

Won’t let you go.

My head says he makes you feel horrible, invisible, unwanted, unlovable.

But my heart says sometimes he smiles and I can forget all that

My head asks my heart “aren’t you tired of being hurt?

And my heart?

My poor love sick puppy heart?

Reply’s “not by him.”

The hardest part about getting my mental health right is trying to let you go because as hard as I try my head loves you too...
