Cleaning out the closets

Lately I have been feeling like I am 2 people at once...I am observing myself  while living my own life. It came to me as I opened my jewelry drawer and pulled out this lovely ring that was given to me by someone I thought was my true love. Someone I thought I would spend the rest of my life with however not only did it not turn out that way but he also became angry and bitter and casually mentioned wanting "his" ring back. I realized as I put it on to wear for my annual Christmas picture it didn't feel the same. That night I decided it was time to let it go...let go period..and here is my story........

Cleaning out the closets

I am cleaning out the closets

The ones inside my heart

The ones that seem to hold me back

From making a brand new start 

It occurred to me today

As I opened up a box

If I let it go right here and now

I’ll have room for more new socks

That’s not what went through my mind

As I pulled out the box with your ring
And took it to the post office
Because it was “your thing”

The gift no longer meant

The same as it was given
But returning it when requested
Made room for me in Heaven

Sometimes letting go isn’t a thing

But a feeling we’ve held for too long
And freeing it will become in the end
The peace of singing that song

So here’s to the past and all events

That hid in my closet for years
And to the events that opened the door
To releasing all of those fears

May we rest our hurts with tenderness

And release those in its midst
And know no one can take away
Our memories that still exists.

So I cleaned out a closet today

And closed that closet door
There’s nothing left to say
As closure was needed more.
