Let Me Go

A long lost love letter, left out and lonesome, To the remorseful romantic who ruined me. Took me in like an addict intakes heroin Then coveted, convinced, and claimed me. I loved you enough to let you go free When everything was banished, like a traitor of the land You still remained, leaving me within the pocket Of the jacket I gave you, which you never wear Unless you want to feel beautiful once again. Because I made you feel beautiful, I know, But you wanted that natural normality, And that is fine. I understand, I truly do, But please release me from your pocket, that space within your locket In which I am confined and bound to you I apologize for my hurtful words, but they must be said. So just go, go so far off and away That we may never brush our cheeks so close again. Just let me learn to live again, without you And your polished pale pink nails digging into my throat Choking me until I’ve forgotten the taste of air. So pretty please, I beg of you, just let me go.
