let go shelley

the past is something gone, that you still kinda have

in your memories

clinging to them as you sit in a barren land

trying to scrape up the last crumbs of the cake

wont make you a new one

i remember wanting something new

having the will power to shrug off past hardships

and over come obstacles unthinkable

i remember being with the wind

flowing threw these desperate times

seeing as the blind do

then i came upon a swamp

that looked like a grand castle

i was sucked into my illusions of great ideas

once realization came i was overcome by quicksand

so here i lay

can i grasp reality

take hold and know that the future will come

that not everything that defines me lies in my mistakes

my hear pounds in fear of losing you

and my head aches in treachery of trying to get rid of you

you are my cigarette to the cancer lover

you are my romeo who fell for Juliette instead

you are the cake to the obese

i love you

but were bad for each other

& i don’t want you to change

as an afterthought i still love you

but its time we let go of the past

im sorry but [i still love you] its time we move on.
