Let You Go

Folder: 
1998 - 2010

I've made my peace

With the non-existance of forever

My friend, you were, but not anymore.

It was not enough, all this love

That I once carried -

Now a burden high on my shoulders.

Please lie to me

Say you never wanted me!

So that I can let you go!



Why did you hold me like I was yours

A daughter, I wasn't meant to be

I swear, I swear I would have called you

Mother.

But you're not better than a memory

Can I scream the hate I breathe?

Though the hate is no bigger than a lie.

But I know that you can lie to me!

Please say you never wanted me!

So that I can let you go!
