Let it go
let it leave
all the could have,
should have,
and never would have been-
with the way it used to be
it's a wonder why I didn't up and leave-
sooner,
because I've found nothing more true,
than "you're your own worst enemy"
and I couldn't see
within the darkness of you that surrounded me
and all I could feel
was the weight of the world
numbing my ankles
as I would kneel
like a weak little girl
thinking numb- was the new tranquil.
Believing what you said
as if your opinions
were the only one's that meant
anythin'
-if I listen
and if I hear
you'll whisper your sweet nothings
into my ear
and remind me
with your sadistic twist
how to feel bliss
and you would make it so real
just to be able to feel
something,
other than the pain.
But here I am
looking from another angle
you're just so untrusting
why were you saying I'm unfaithful
all you were doing with truth was caging,
your karma's exchanging
just to repeat
what you taught me...
and so I'll be
unsheathed by your energy
protecting myself from all your twisted scrutiny
everything you used to do to me
just to make me your posession to keep.
well honey this love ain't free!
so cheers to you both
when I give karma her key
sealed with a kiss saying
"here's the lesson you taught me!"
