Letting Go of Unavailable People
I have been trying to figure out
Why I cant let go of you,
Why I am always drawn to coming back
Knowing that we haven’t had a successful
Relationship, but then it dwelled on me why?
You and I are both unavailable beings,
We consume ourselves with the same things,
Emotionally we are drawn to each other
On a powerful energetic level.
That is why we have this strong connection
Towards each other the near fact of either
Of us don’t want to let go,
Yet we are emotionally driven
To stay bounded to the other.
You have this hold onto me
And I have this emotional hold onto you.
We have an inner radar system that
Keeps us compacted with the other
On an emotionally intimate level.
We both had broken childhoods
And we walk around with those wounds,
I thought if I help you,
We might have a better chance at our forever.
But we have kept each other behind as well,
I don’t know the circumstances your in now.
“The reason that we get involved with people who are unavailable,
Is because we are unavailable.”
I love you I truly know that I do in my heart,
But it is not possible to love someone
Enough to get them to stop feeling.
We have to stop that delusion,
Even though you are with someone else.
And I know that you shouldn’t even be,
With anyone because you feel that emptiness
Inside of you that has been missing since
You were a child,
I wish you could focus more on healing
Yourself on the inside
And understanding and healing the
Emotional wounds that have driven
Us to pick people who could not give
us what we want emotionally.
I am letting go of you, not because
I don’t love you, but because I think
We both know you are holding onto
People with the fears that is still
Stuck deep within your soul.
Until then we will both be ready
For something with someone that
Is available for us.
Letting go doesn’t mean I don’t love you,
It means that I will always be here for you.

There is so much wisdom in this. I was in such relationship where it was just so soul destroying to be good for either one of us. Love gives us wings to fly, if it doesn't then, it is time to let go and look for someone else who does. I'm not saying tha love is ever 'perfect' but, when we truly do love someone we love them for all their imperfections, too. If this love was killing you, even ever so softly it was wrong for you.
I hope you can be strong enough to let go and live your life again and find a new love that will help to complete you.
We can be addicted to a person every bit as much as any other addiction and in the end it too can kill us (emotionally)
Well said...Hugs.
great poem, a true message a real understanding of relationships
Loved the "we are drawn to each other
On a powerful energetic level" - cosmic connections nicely captured.
Letting go doesn’t mean I don’t love you,
It means that I will always be here for you.
so true, divine piece!
This is so moving, so realistic. And what a wonderful title, this will leave me thinking for a long time! Unavailable people. Yes! That is what it is.
Letting go doesn’t mean I don’t love you,
It means that I will always be here for you.
So true, yet conflicting at the same time. Because there's always the danger of holding out hope. An engaging write capturing the difficult emotions of letting go.

We seem to all have had a relationship like that in our lives. You captured it very nicely.
