RELEASE ME

MY HEART IS BLEEDING,

FEELING EMOTIONALLY DRAINED,

FOR THE LIFE OF ME

I

CAN'T EASE THE PAIN,

TEAR DUCTS RAN DRY,

SO, DEEP WITHIN ME I HEAR THE CRY.

BUT THE VOICE NO LONGER CRACKS,

I'M NO LONGER CHOKED,

STILL I FEEL COMPLETELY EMPTY,

HOLDING THE HEART YOU BROKE.

MY MIND STILL IN A STATE OF SHOCK,

FEELING LIKE MY WHOLE WORLD WAS JUST ROCKED,

IT'LL TAKE AN ETERNITY TO RECLAIM THE POSITION,

MY INTUITION SPOKE BUT I DIDN'T LISTEN,

HERE I AM BACK TO JUMP,

HOLD ON,

I CAN'T SPEAK, MY THROAT FEELS THAT LUMP.

SHIT,

I ALMOST CRIED,

PART OF ME FIGHTS IT, MAYBE ITS PRIDE.

THIS TIME I'VE SHED ENOUGH TO LAST ME FOREVER,

UNTIL I'M OLD AND GRAY,

A SAD END TO A BEAUTIFUL START, AND I'M DISMAYED,

HURT NEVER FELT THIS BAD, PAIN DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THIS,

FIGHTING TO WASH THE REMNANTS OF YOUR KISS.

CONFUSION NEVER TOUCHED ME, ATLEAST NOT IN THIS FORM,

I CANT REMEMBER EVER FEELING THIS TORN.

PART OF ME WANTS TO LEAVE YOU, THE OTHER SCREAMS TO STAY,

WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME? THE WORDS YOU DIDN'T HEAR ME SAY,

I DIDN'T ASK VERBALLY, BUT MY BURNING EYES SPOKE TO YOU TODAY,

YOU HELD ME, SAYING BABY I LOVE YOU, BUT THE DAMAGE WAS ALREADY DONE,

HOWEVER I COULDN'T BRING MYSELF TO PACK IT UP AND RUN,

BECAUSE I LOOK AT YOU AND EVERYTHING INSIDE ME SHAKES,

NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES MY HEART BREAKS,

I CAN'T STEP AWAY FROM THAT EMBRACE, THE KISS, THE SWEET WAY YOU KISS MY FINGER TIPS,

I DON'T HAVE THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT YOUR LIPS,

DAMN

WHY DO YOU MAKE ME SO WEAK,

I WANT TO CURSE YOU FOR HURTING ME, BUT I CAN'T FIND THE WORDS TO SPEAK.

I WANT TO BAIL AND RUN FROM THIS CRAZY LOVE,  GET OFF THIS ROLLER COASTER,

BUT WHEN YOU REACH OUT FOR ME, BEFORE I CAN PROTEST, SOMETHING GREATER THAN ME BRINGS ME CLOSER.

PLEASE RELEASE ME FROM YOUR POSESSION,

SET FREE THE HEART YOU TOOK,

YOU COULD SEE THE EMPTINESS YOU LEFT INSIDE ME, IF YOU'D JUST TAKE A LOOK.
