Let Me Go

Knowing something should be but never will be.

                                         

                                               by Vidya Bacchus and Jonathan Edward Furches                     

Tell me to go otherwise I'll never leave,

Wrapped in your arms I want to believe,

That I belong here this is my home,

And she's the one that can't leave you alone.

Tell me we're wrong even though we feel right,

Tell me you love her and I'll go without a fight,

Don't sear me with kisses that ask me to stay,

And damn me with promises that always go astray.

Let me be let me go,

Show me balance within the depth of cold,

Allow my fears to find me near,

Even I understand your greatest fear.

I know your right within the fight,

Your golden gloves I see,

Hopes, leaps, bounds and promises,

They are all my eyes can see.

I need to leave but I have to stay,

Destiny's tender I gladly pay,

If today is ours then lets not ponder,

If your tomorrow is promised  to another.

My new favorite of yours... Oh my goodness what a collaboration girl...

"Don't sear me with kisses that ask me to stay,

And damn me with promises that always go astray."

Love, lust, relationships are so dang confusing and complicated by thoughts, doubts, and expectations... Perceptions of the psyche muddied by emotions of the heart:)

Deeply moving... beautifully written

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you so much April.Your words as always mean a lot :)

[AprilRN1210]

You're very welcome girl and likewise of course:)

[Troy Henson]

Love is entwined with mixed emotions of what we should or shouldn't do often a conflict of interest but the power and pull that love has is just amazing.

Well written.

Absolutely beautiful rhyming scheme. Conflicts, confusions, loyalty, love, all these form such an integral part of all our lives, yet remain mysterious.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Very true words.Thank you Parimal :)

Agree with April on this one:

"Don't sear me with kisses that ask me to stay,
And damn me with promises that always go astray."

Beautiful, heartbreaking, romantic
Work of art.

What a great collaboration....when there is a thin line between the reasons to go and the reasons to stay, it takes a strong person to make the decision. I liked this a lot, Vidya. Lydi**
