PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm incredibly new to poetry so keep that in mind while you read

This poem comes out of a memory from not so long ago. The last line is adapted from a part of a song called 'Basic Space' by The xx (I recommend you listen), and I had this line in mind while writing as it really resonated with me (and essentially inspired the whole thing).

I wrote this about my ex, Tom Neville. This wasnt the end of us, only the beggining of trying to let him go. In the end, I did finally let him go. That wasnt until many months later.

The battles we go through ourselves, and through others, to reach equal ground, understanding, but also something much deeper than anything each have known.
