I can’t let her go

I can’t let her go
Because I never had the kind of love that was forever.

I can’t let her go
Because she used to cook for me.
Heaven knows how much love
I attach to acts of service.

I can’t let her go
Because she used to be the arms that held me tight.

I can’t let her go
I’ll confess it all day
And all night
Maybe it’ll feel better.
I can’t let her go even when
I’m trying with all my might.
I can’t let her go at all.

I just can’t let her go.
But I’ll keep limping forward

It's an interesting poem. 🤔 If it's directed at a love interest I would say the starting point to letting go is to recognise that you never owned the person to begin with. If it's about someone (family member, relative etc.) who has passed on, I would say time heals all wounds.
