Letting you go.



                     Letting you go


They say,
God latched onto the devils
cloak  before he plummeted to his demise ..
traversing through the devils soul in search of
 of silver amongst the rubble  of coal that was his heart.
Even in love,
God eventually found this act futile.
So he unlatched both the devil ,
and the last surviving hope of good that he held on to …


In that I say…
Amongst the land of the unloved,
that somewhat abandoned summit of rubble
 is the place we made our home …
I never once  failed to hang my
heart on the coat stand I built from
 the sunken depths of heartbreaks you suffered.
But here we are again,
Stagnant on the verging line separating heaven from hell ..
Trapping us both into this ego inflicted purgatory .


you ask me to hold on..
But to what end is this rope extended?
For you are everything but a concise love story.
What hope would my mortal heart possess to
think it could disregard you when God himself  
struggled to let go of that which he loved most.
My efforts to search for silver have
 all been engulfed by this copper surrounding our world .
I’ve found this love purposeless ,
it’s latch intruding into the remaining light force stored within me ..
 And the fall….
Out of my arms ,
Plummeting towards a narrative of just another angel falling from m grace

About this poem

God has always been seen as the dominant representation of love and fairness . We sometimes forget that God literally had to go against his own nature and stop himself from loving his most beloved Angel, Lucifer . This applies to modern day relationships. Even in love - we sometimes have to let someone go because they are no longer good for us .
