Why couldn’t I just let it go?
I let there be nothing
No simplicity of walking away
No simplicity of saying goodbye

Because goodbye meant forever.
Forever was too long .
Letting go was too hard.
And I was too broken.

I had to fight for myself
But I didn’t
I fought against myself.
And I lost.

I lost more than I thought I had.
I lost myself.

That was a very good poem. It also had an interesting rhyme patterning. Would you mind to tell me what kind of sonnet this is (English, Kyrielle, etc)?
