“THE MOMENT YOU LET GO”

ARMS RELEASED,

I CANNOT BELIEVE,

I AM STANDING IN DEFEAT,

HANDS WIDE OPEN – COMPLETELY,

STANDING HERE ALONE NOW – I AM INCOMPLETE,

SILLY,

SILLY,

SILLY ME,

I AM NOW WALKING ON MY HEART – WITH MY OWN TWO FEET,

NOT EVEN LOOKING WHEN I CROSS THE STREET,

HOPING A TRUCK WILL RUN ME OVER TO END THIS MISERY,

LIFE AT TIMES HAS GIVEN ME GRIEF,

THE MOMENT YOU LET GO I LOST ALL BELIEF,

I NOW SEE ALL CRACKS IN WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE…….

A LOVE SO STRONG, A LIFE TOGETHER FOREVER WE PROMISED, BUT NOW ALL CREVICES I SEE,

I NOW KNOW THAT WATER LEAKS,

IT SEEPS DEEP WITHIN AND WHEN IT TURNS COLD BREAKS WHAT IS CONCRETE,

ALL MY HOPES AND DREAMS TO BE,

THEY’VE CRUMBLED AND I AM CRIPPLE TO MY KNEES,

DEAR LORD HEAR ME PLEASE!

I AM SO SORRY,

SO SORRY,

SO VERY, VERY SORRY,

I CAN NOW HEAR MY OWN HEART BEAT,

ALL THESE MEMORIES AND DAYS SEEM TO REPEAT,

YOU ARE MY HEART, MY LOVE, MY QUEEN, MY EVERYTHING,

WELL YOU WERE ALL THOSE THINGS TO ME AT LEAST,

THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, MY WIFE, SWEETEST OF ALL SWEETS,

TILL THE MOMENT YOU LET GO OF YOU AND ME, 

NO INTEREST IN OTHER ACTIVITIES, 

TO MY HOME I DO RETREAT, 

AVOID ALL OF THE ROADS THAT WE USED TO TRAVEL ON – I AVOID THOSE STREETS, 

I TAKE ALTERNATE ROUTES AND DETOURS  – BACK ROADS ARE NOW WHAT I SEE, 

SINGING LOVE SONGS AS I CRY AND BLOW MY VOICE OUT COMPLETELY, 

INVESTING MORE TIME IN MYSELF AND DROWNING IN MY VERY OWN PITY, 

DON’T KNOW IF MY HEART AGAIN WILL EVER BE FREE, 

AFTER THIS FALL FROM LOVE’S ENORMOUS TREE, 

I WILL FADE AWAY IN TIME IN YOUR MEMORY, 

I SAW IT IN YOUR EYES THE  MOMENT YOU LET GO……

YOU LET GO OF ME.
