Letting Go - A Tribute

by manic moments   Aug 14, 2006


Far away from your sight
So far away, into the night
Stepping away from your stare
Stepping away from you disapproving glare

My hand clasped to my side
My hand holding all the tears I cried
Troubles are the beginning, troubles are the end
Troubles have already come and gone, dear friend

You let me wonder, you let me go
You let me do all this before I could ever know
You think I hate you, you think I'm suicide
You think I fake all the times I cried

People walking past
People always saying I won't last
Head up high, I walk away
Head up high I don't let my stance betray

Knowing your gone
Knowing it all along
I tried so hard to make you see
I tried so hard to let you free

Please don't let go anymore
Please don't fall to the floor
Wonder away, wonder unknown
Wonder what it is that you have shown

Fire light moving, fire light glowing
Thought the fire light, I think it's snowing
Fret away our differences, fret away our mistakes
Fret away all our troubles, because we know what it takes

Pacing the hall, pacing in the dark
Pacing through the trees stripped of bark
Tribute to us, tribute to life
Tribute to the beginning of the knife

Old and new, I don't understand
Old hope, you already dropped my hand
Wasting away, away from sight
Wasting away into the night

Care no more for your tears
Care no more for your fears
You took away my voting rights
You took me away from my silent nights

Purpose is gone, purpose is lost
Purpose has fled without a cost
Just make it stop, make it stop
Just let this be the last tear I drop

    The entire poem was...magnificent. Emotion was steeped in every line. Loss sucks...alot. You just have to turn to what you do have when you realize you're missing something. Great job on this, it's prolly one of my favorites of yours.
    Keep it up
