Be yourself, Everyone else is already taken


My heart can no longer take this
for you can not just make up your mind,
leaving me in knots,
not knowing what do say or feel

the words are so hard to say
the idea is so hard to think of
if you could just go,
and leave me be,

yet you leave me so twisted up
i dont know what to feel
i want you to go
but i want you to stay

If you could just make sense this one time
If you could just say whats in your heart
and then i can know
i can know how to say it
i can let you go

no longer wanting to hold your heavy weight upon my tired and aching heart
i can only gain the strength to say these simple, yet uncompromising words

Leave me be
Let me fly
let me breath
without the pain of your arrogant words

Leave me be
go on your way,
for i am finished with your twists and turns
no longer shall my heart be lost in the depths of your lies

I am free


The author's comments:
i wrote this while listening to the song "The Meadow" which was in the movie New Moon. I am often inspired while listening to classical music, and this piece was inspired from that song. well that and and experience in my life, the poem describes the difficulties in letting go, the feelings that can enter ones heart, and make them want to hold on to the one they love, or thought they loved. Enjoy, please rate and comment

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
