Drifting through once-spoken words I find a bitter husk.
A pitiable, empty fellow held aloft Only by the stubborn force
Of a grudge.
Why can't you let go-
Stop sinking toward the bottom-
Or are you afraid
That your anchoring hate
Is the only thing barring you
From drifting away.
Release!
Forget!
Forgive!
Please, just find a way to cope,
To get rid of the all-encompassing
Hate
That's ripping us apart.
The pressure,
Sustained for so long,
Has finally reached its limit.
I just want to stop feeling, OK?
I won't even greedily ask for peace
Or laughter,
I just need for
You
To let it go, so I can move on
From the past,
And rejoin myself in today.
Don't you understand?
It makes no difference
How hard I try,
How mightily I struggle,
Because in the end,
You are the one
Who holds the keys to my heart,
My soul
My emotions
And my future,
And the only way
For me to get away from here
Is if you choose to let me go.
