You Let Me Go

When you're so addicted to someone's presence that you cannot let them go, even if you know they are harming you more than they are benefiting you. So you beg them to let you go instead...

I have held on

You asked for it

I have given my all

I wasn’t my own anymore

I was yours to call

I have held on

I feared you at first

Kept at bay

I feared you no more

I had you, come what may

I have held on

You took my all

You were done

On to the next prey

You let me fall

I have held on

Distant gaze

My eyes yearned for what it was

My head whispered it was no more

my heart wept it could still be

I have held on

Let me go

My soul demands release

I will not let go

Set my mind at ease

I’ve got to move on

Please let there be dawn

You let me go
