Let Go

For my mother

I've tried so many times to tell you,

But you would never listen to my pleading.

We stood by you for so long,

Supporting, loving, defending.

But you could never take a hint.

You know it's wrong.

You've known, but you stay.

Dealing with the pain and the hurt.

For us, you say.

But we aren't little kids anymore.

We aren't so easily deceived by your petty lies.

We know it's not for us that you stay.

You stay for you.

Your fear.

Fear of living they way you should.

They way you could.

Happy

Free

Painless
