Let me go
Once and for all
I am no longer
At your beck and call
Cry wolf
All you might
I’d rather suffer
Sleep terrors at night
Than run to your heart
And find an empty space
A gaping hole
In it’s once warm place
Let me go
Once and for all
Even at the risk
That I might fall
Deep in a sleep
Where I have to fight
The groping hands
Until morning light
That taunt and tease
Always without a face
Without hope
Of a saving grace
Let me go
Once and for all
What you call love
Is much too small
To keep you warm
To spark the light
To light the way
To make things right
So leave me be
That I may someday replace
The cold hands clutching
With love’s warm embrace
