Let this go (Strength)

I keep on trying,

but I only end up crying.

Inside, I am dying.

And, I'm just so sick of all this lying.

 

This love we're sharing,

I'm so scared of caring.

I'm not that daring.

My heart is tearing.

 

I cannot trust,

but someday I must.

My life can't be based off of only lust.

My heart of gold begins to rust.

 

I just want to be free.

I can't pay this fee.

This light, I can't see,

Let it shine on me.

 

Show me what I'm missing,

because my heart is too busy reminiscing.

Thinking back to a time, when yes, it was you I was kissing.

 

I have to let this go.

My strength, I must show.

My weakness, away it should flow.

If only this process weren't so pain-stakingly slow.
