Let Love Go

If I let love go,

Let it fall from my heart

Will I still be me?

Will I still be standing?

It’s always been,

What holds me up.

It’s my strength and my weakness

My walls and my doors.

So kiss me and leave,

It’s what you’re good at.

Kiss me and leave--

Will I keep the love in?

I want to let it fall

Let it fall from my heart.

But I can’t let go

Either you got me good or you got me wrong.

True loves they can come and go

But the ones that touch your soul

It seems like they just grow.

You came in, seven years ago

I tell my heart to be silent

But with kindness or sadness

I can’t seem to let the love go,

It consumes me whole.

Sometimes

Sometimes I feel

As if everything, inside of me, is breaking.

How can I hold on,

Without a hand to cling to,

The one who was my shelter

Is still so far gone.

Sometimes I think back

To who I was back then and now,

How can I go back

Without the love to greet me,

When all lights go out

And I’m still alone.

Sometimes I want to

Reverse time and revert back

Have all the memories rewind and

Let me return to

When I was cared for and

I believed you’d never leave.

Sometimes I wonder

Will the old me resurface

But then I know the truth

It won’t happen because of you.

So I guess I’ll go on

And just dream of you.
