Let Go of Me


Let go of me! Don't squeeze me, life, from the inside

I love your winter; take away your summer nights

Bring ice to freeze, but don't you dare to burn me out

Frozen skeleton remains while ashes fly apart

This nineteen is thousand times enough for me

Steal all comprehension or do not let me breathe.

 

Let go of me! My sisters, I only lived for thee

You were consolidation while mother was away

Home became a nightmare. For that I am to blame

My poetry is foolish. Out is mere way

Swear to me no curse will flow from mouth of yours

Remember our dearest moments of yore.

 

Let go of me! My dear friend, you know I'm old

You've read the novel in me to the world untold

Don't ask me to remain. Unlike you I am not so bold

Will go to make new friends in fiery underworld

I'll drown like Martin Eden though in wintry cold

Find me in my verses. Don't be mad at world.

 

Let go of me! My faded dreams, you are to bleed

Beloved one has fled away in time of need

A beautiful mascara - truth was mere greed

No navy woods of poetry will grow from seeds

Enough of this! This world is not my place to live

I leave you all forever. Farewell, my dears!
