I know I've got to let you leave !


I will not reproach you, because repentance can only happen between lovers, and

you have chosen to become a stranger to me.

Repentance and blame is not worthy of some, I blame those who believe in me and my soul

I couldn't ask you to stay and I have nothing in my heart for you to say

You asked me how did we get this far ? There were days and nights where I fill apart

There were nights when we couldn't look each other in the eye or hear each other's cry

You got so distant and I was alone days, nights, month after month went by myself alone

There are many nights when you're all that's on my mind

But "I will be right back" is what you always said

So I  wanted to try to put on a smile so our time could last for a while but you always 

went away not caring for me  then you left me in fear 

Fear of being alone with you in our own home 

We were together for so many years, did  you ever share or remember my fears or  my tears?
I know I've got to let you leave !

We met like other people do but we didn't realize that you weren't for me nor I were for you.

This was once a love poem, This was once the story of our endless journey

I put my trust in you and all you want is just some more ?
I ask myself why Did you have to keep me hanging without saying goodbye?

Over the years you have put me through sooo much
That was not what I expected  first when once I felt your touch.

I bet you think that it's been fun even if you see that pain I've won 

I am through with trying I am sure things are good for you despite what I have been through

I never thought I'd turn away I never believed I'd see this day 

I am leaving behind all I know changing and leaving  everything as I must go

The time has come to change the pace what once was hate now is disgrace 

Your need for me has been replaced, your chains has been released  my soul is free 

my mind is clear, you can dig all you need, Control, abuse, degrading,or money as you pleased

I will look ahead and erase what once was embraced.
