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.

A collaboration with my friend and oh so talented poet Jon.

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]

"I need to leave but I have to stay,
Destiny's tender I gladly pay,"
One of my favorites bands said in their song. "Should I stay or should I go?" The above lines is true for the most of us. We hold on to threads. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

A great collaboration here! Perhaps if something never will be, then maybe it isn't really meant to be? Just a thought. ;) This is my favorite part:

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

Great job with this! It was smooth and the flow was great! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

[0000000000000000000000000000]

Vidya did that part :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Thank you Madalyn dear friend:)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Maddy.I agree if its meant to be it will work out eventually but if you have to steal mins to be together I am pretty sure its not .You such a sweetie patootie :)

[Woody]

so that's what happens when two great poets join forces!!
imagine shakespear had collaborated with another poet. that infuriating question of his would probably have been answered.

[Vidya Bacchus]

"To be or not to be Woody?" Thank you for this awesome review my dear friend.It means so much :)

[Woody]

don't mention it m'lady :)
I had to write something different. something silly.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Aww nothing you say is silly kind sir :)

[0000000000000000000000000000]

I like the thoughts of that Woody:))))))))))))

[Woody]

thank you Jonathan. I truly believe you produced something exquisite :)

[ron]

Wow, I love this one.
It's hard to love someone who loves another, I have been there before and it is the greatest pain one can feel.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Red yes its a lose lose situation but some people can't let go no matter how much they need to :)

[ron]

I know Vidya. No one can control how the heart feels or what the body wants and needs.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Aye that is the truth :)

[0000000000000000000000000000]
