Let Go

I close my eyes, let the memories subside

And try to find a part of me still alive

With pressure to regroup, but then I picture you

I try running away, but only get played for a fool

So I’m forced into illusions, of drama and confusion

In reality the picture is ruined

What was loved is lost

All at my cost

I guess everything that goes up eventually falls

 

Let go

Let go and fly

Forget

Forget? But, why?

Believe

Believe in I

See everything break and take my life

 

This feeling that I have from the past won’t seem to rest

I try to put my best face forward, but stay upset

I hang my head down because I’m such a tragic mess

How can I give my all, when all I have is less?

My body breaks down, I’m dragging from all this stress

How can I love another when I’m still so obsessed?

Find tonight’s replacement, hiding behind sex

Love falls when your heart has no place to nest

But unless I keep trying

My soul will keep dying

Outside he smiles, yet inside he’s crying

 

Awaken my mind from being stubborn and blind

 

 

And sit back and realize this life isn’t mine

 

I can’t believe for everything that I’ve set out to find

 

That a broken soul can be controlled in no time

 

But yet I keep trying to play the right part

And seeing it now?

I didn’t leave the right mark

Because I abused and confused my lover’s heart

All because my own had been broken and dark

Since the start, I told you to be strong

It seems like I’ve been lying to myself all along

It hurts to look back at the picture that’s drawn

Because the picture painted an ending in which you were gone

Gone…gone…gone…I’ve gotta

 

Let go

Let go and fly

Forget? But, why?

Believe

Just believe in I

See everything break and take my life

 

Baby, sit back for one second and concentrate

On what I have to say, and don’t be so strong in fate

Try long and wait for me to finish my sentence

Don’t pick my words apart like a teenage apprentice

Alright, now let’s put the past aside

And look at the good, you can’t say I haven’t tried

Or that I ain’t cried for you, ain’t lied for you

You pushed me away when I nearly died for you

And I tried to do everything to make you smile

But your inner vision paints a picture of a child

Unsure of who you are and scared to speak

But to me? That’s what made you unique

 

Looking back now, I’ve got to wonder how

Life and love were all lost and not found

 

But I must let go

 

And bury the mask

 

Once and for all, and leave it all in my past

But I must let go



And bury the mask



Once and for all, and leave it all in my past



Oh, my Jason, a most poignant piece on heart break,

sad, although beautifully expressed with deep emotions

but comes the time to let go and stop reliving the heartbreak and get on with life~

THanks for sharing your talented pen my friend~Fran

Great writing. I universal poem, for we have all felt those emotions in our lives. I love the feeling of total confusion you show. Thanks for submitting this in my contest. I can see how it works for the photo, if only for that feeling of confusion. Thanks. Good Job

This was very emotional and strong piece of writing, It flowed like a song, and I could make my own rythm and beat to it.
As a matter of fact, I pictured the voice of the lead singer of the band Creed. I don't know if you ever heard them, but this song brought his voice in it because it reminds me of one of his songs, "With arms wide open."

I really liked this and how I could feel the sadness and loss and the whole "Not over you" thing. It's a perfect way of letting all the emotions out, and im sure anyone feeling like this would appreciate how you perfectly put it into words!
GREAT write, i really enjoyed!

This was extremely moving. A form of new motivations. I am struck with awe and emotion. It flows so well almost like the melody to a classic song. Maybe that is what it should be. A song. I know someone who would put it to music, if you would like. You might just hit the Billboard charts with this :p haha. But honestly this is probably in the top ten favorite pieces I have ever read and I think you have a true talent. Keep writing and hopefully I will be reading more wonderful pieces soon!

It is very lyrical. You have such a way with words that is simply amazing. This piece is about letting go but that is so hard sometimes. A taste of glorious freedom. Great piece.

I like this! I think eveyone should just let go and believe in someone. It's wonderful when you have someone to believe in.

That was really deep! This flowed really well. As I was reading this I kept thinking about Imogen Heap's song
"Let Go"....If you haven't heard it...listen to it. It'll make you very happy just listening to it! :) Anyways, Great write!
