Let me be (Sentimentally free)

Leave …

Take it all away

And let me go

 

Leave

And leave me to dismay

End up this show

 

And let me go

Let me be

And set me free

 

Take it all away

Your insomnia and mine

Your smile and whine

 

And erase this whole year

Your comforting fear

Your warm salty tear

 

Set me free my mistress

In the land of the heartless

And let me be me

 

Burn it, hope you gave

I already forgave

And now it’s time to forget

 

Without regret

Without goodbyes

Without my lies

 

Leave without hate

If you’re not in my fate

And leave me to my grief

 

And take away the fantasy

Of you next to me

And us in the rain

 

And I’ll endure our pain

Although not the same

Yours I’m not, again

 

Out of my dreams

Out of my streams

And away from the dead

 

Away from tears to be shed

And out of my head

Out of my bed

 

Leave me now

Though you left me then

Leave me inside, you dwell within

 

Why are you still inside

You’re nothing but a lie, I lied

My lie, perhaps, but your pride

 

Leave me for good

And that, make me feel

Give me time so I’d heal

 

And make me hate you

Only for a while

Just till I forget the way you used to smile

 

Don’t be the yearning of my lonely night

And be the anger in every fight

Leave the beauty of every sight

 

Why are you still here

Why won’t you just go

Why in the mirror you still show

 

Why can’t I forget

Don’t sip my coffee

Let go of my cigarette

 

Miles away you might be

But why do I feel you next to me

Why can’t I let go, why can’t I set you free

Why are you still here
Why won’t you just go
Why in the mirror you still show.

This is a achos of your heart. I can feel your poignant. And when these lines appear it say your whole story

Miles away you might be
But why do I feel you next to me
Why can’t I let go, why can’t I set you free

[TL Boehm]

why can't I set you free, the question of the ages. Well penned and relatable poetry from you.

[M.Kilani]

Thanks you.

"Miles away you might be
But why do I feel you next to me
Why can’t I let go, why can’t I set you free"

Love that last stanza. Haunting, really wraps the piece together. Nice work.

It would be cool to be able to forget emotion and feelings. But most are permanent scars. A very strong story. We can try to forget people but their memory will sneak up on us at anytime. A excellent poem. Thank you.

Fly away butterfly
You live on in my mind's eye
Die, butterfly, die
Go up in smoke on the funeral pyre
I tell myself
I won't wish you back

But we always miss someone who was such an integral part of us...you've captured the drag and the misery

OMG ... this piece reminds me of the quote, "You say I can't set you free from me - that's not true!" lol

It's in the Lap of the Gods...

This is great - I loved it!

[Calypso]

So full of empowerment and anger! The title really caught my eye. I take it to mean that your fighting to be free, but your not really. Does that make sense? Didn't for me. So okay I guess I shouldn't use bull-crap in a review...
I loved the poem.
The bold font added to this poem, it really did.

Wow, I think my favourite part was "And make me hate you/only for a while/just till I forget the way you used to smile".
Separating is hard when you still feel for a person. It's so much easier if you can hate them. The ghost of a person is even stronger than their actual, physical presence. I think you conveyed that well here.
