Let Go

It has taken me some time to realize that there are two parts of your body that will always be at war with one another,
And it seems like no matter how hard you try, they will never agree with each other.
5 months, trading kisses in my car
Your hands tracing hearts around my arms
Our lives, we knew would never be the same
But why’d you have to go and change
Hey
4 weeks, that’s all it took for me to fall
It took 10 years to teach myself how to breathe again
How to live without pretending that’s what I was doing
To stop allowing myself to die quietly
As to not inconvenience the neighbors
When the rain stops
And the sun drops
Below the horizon line
Do not forget the time we shared
Or how I held your hand in mine
But when the sun shines
In your lovers eyes
I can’t help but feel
That I will never stop writing
About this feeling
That I will never stop feeling
This in love
And this unloved
At the same time
It’s an emotion
My demons like to come out and play
Don't worry they won't bother you they are only after me
In fact let them braid your hair, they are great at that
Do you need your make up done, they have that down pact
In real-time I take stabs and fall unto my knees look at my wounds
And figure if there's something that fix
Submission and cloudiness forms
But my true intentions are unveiled when sleep and let all unfold
A girl writing words
A questioning heart
Accept it
Accept it
Open your hands and release
Watch it fall
A brief moment of satisfaction
Destination of full acceptance
I get bitter when I think about you
Skin burning
Blood convulsing just below the surface
Angry not that you are gone
But at the way you left.
"Because I love you"
Doesn't mean it's okay
For me to do as you say.
The phrase "because I love you"
Should only be used to express
An act of love, of gratitude; it must not be used as a screw.
Do something for me
BreatheThen ask"Will it still matter in a year?"If the answer is noThen let it go
I can't let go of the past.
It isn't that simple.
The memories are engraved in my brain
Like the scars on skin.
They play in my head over and over
Like a movie on loop.
If I could simply forget them
Your words faintly brushed through my ear
and your hands were all over me
physically promising me I was your last.
This was you.
I'll take some responsibility,
but listen to me
You took care of me,
When I felt alone and forgotten.
You kept my secrets,
And comforted me when I cried.
Now I have to watch,
Watch you fallen and in pain.
You're incapable to say,
I wish I could feel the raindrops
falling on my face
the distance between the sky and me
feels so out of place.
strip away these walls
bricks and mortar that bind me
People like drama
they are hard to please
hard to entertain
hard to hold on to
slipping through your fingers like water
So far gone.
When I do the right thing I feel hollow
Let go.
Wash your sins away
or your heart's vacancy will find
guilt, an ever burdening resident
Let go.
I'll carry your ball and chain.
I tried so hard
So hard to just show who I am
But
It scared me
Because I felt like no one would like who I am
I just wanted to be free
So free that I wouldn't care what other people thought
Imagine what Icould be if I let my thoughts go,
Mind so planted on all these things I believe I know.
It's no wonder my accomplishments are comming so slow.
Constantly searching for that missing link...
How could you easily let go
the one thing you said you love
without a protest
without a fight
and leave it there broken
walking away.
You say it hurt you to release your grasp
I'm drowning in the inability to let go
there is no siding to grab
no raft afloat
just me
alone
in this ocean.
as wilson difts away
I scream in desperation,
"I have lost my self control!"
You’re beautiful
Inside and out.
Why can’t you see it?
I stare at your eyes
Mesmerized by their beauty
Why can’t you see it?
You are nothing but trouble
Oh so addicting
Fallen into the deep Abyss of my dreams.I stand in a valley filled with Different hues of green.An ever flowing river Runs nearby.The sun shines downUpon me.A figure more luminous
Close your eyes and breathe
Let go of the world around you
Reach out a hand and touch a star
Ride on the back of a dragon
Close your eyes and breathe
EVERYDAY I LOOK IN THE MIRROR
AND HATE WHAT I SEE
WHO I REALLY AM
IS LOST SOMEWHERE IN ME.
I’VE MADE MISTAKES
WHEN I DIDN’T LISTEN TO MY HEART
NOW EVERYTHING IMPORTANT
HAS QUICKLY FALLEN APART.
