Letting go...

by becca

Ive clung on so hard,
Though my body feels so weak,
Till my nails draw blood,
And tears stain my cheeks.

Ive clung on so hard,
To every word that you said,
Till my eyes bleach with teardrops,
And my palms are scarred red.

Ive clung on so hard,
To every second we spent,
Every thing we did,
Every place we went.

Ive clung on so hard,
I need to face facts,
I can cling on forever
But you're not coming back,
Ive clung on so hard,
With everything that I am,
But now, I regret,
Ive clung as long as I can.
I'm slacking my grip,
I need you to know,
I'm finding my freedom,
I'm letting you go...
