I'Ve Stopped Holding On Poem by Bradley Lester

I've stopped holding onto the thoughts I once had
I now realise that those thoughts made me mad
And only because I was thinking of me
So selfish was I not to see her true plea

I've stopped holding onto whatever I did
A dream that went wrong and a wish I once hid
A flashback to future was something I sought
But now that I think back a memory, a thought

My future I've halted from love sick and pain
To cherish each day with my heart not to gain
I've stopped holding on protecting my heart
I'll cherish the memories of warmth I will part
