Let Me Go

By cre

What the night cloaks,
The sun shall never see.
I tried to relay this,
But you refused to see.
You touched me,
Thinking you could heal,
A life that's been too broken,
To ever want to feel.
I hoped to love the sunrise,
In its shade of gentle blue.
I cried inside its beauty,
But I tried because of you.
I walked among the waves,
Of twilight's quiet shore.
You watched to see me smile,
But I only felt it more -
The eyes inside my dreams,
And the terrors that I see.
The world that I want out of,
If you'd just let go of me.
I am kept immobile,
By ties that forever bind.
I'm dying for escape,
But there's turmoil in my mind.
You are a shackle,
As surely as the chains,
That kept me bound and silent,
And tortured with their pain.
I am begging mercy,
Though I hold out little hope.
Peace is all I want,
But you have to let me go . . .

Fingers will stop to obey there mistress, Trying to grab what she know she lost, It is then I hope to see, Her power in a moment just, Controling the final touch. Tiger

chew your fetters, love,m and bolt for the forests and the wild freedoms you deserve and belong to... sometimes that which bind us will never let us go, and we have to tear them apart ferally finding survival in the bottom of a tea cup.

a sail to the sea is never smooth, well at least most of the time, the storm hits, and I can understand that sometimes it hits pretty hard, but afterwards everything is going to be OK. at the time being think about it inspiring a beautiful poem. =)
A former member wrote: I really liked the four lines after and including, "I hoped to love the sunrise". Sad poem but nicely written. ~Urban Shipwreck~

profound and inter-woven with noble humility, your words somehow touch everyone, with specific and different taste, this is quite a feat, your prose is a "Touch-stone" to all, that have pain.........urban

This is a plea that I could feel down to my bones. I always find so much gentle beauty in the sadness that you write about. It is a truly a gift to be able to turn pain into art.

Jane...there's not much that can be said to this. Sad...heartfelt...true. I've read this over at least 5 times, and everytime it hits me more. It will get better...I hope.
