#settingyoufree

All my secrets buried deep within my skin

Don’t come too close to me, perspired are my sins

Cannot escape from this, my unearthly cage

I do love you but I can’t put you through this pain, again

To let you in I would not dare

It wasn’t anything that I could share

I’m sorry it ended so rough

Anything I did was never enough

I could no longer hide my shame

And from there it was never the same

How did you stand to be so near?

I would have banished me so long ago

Why you didn’t I will never know

I can still feel the soft caresses against my lips

I will remember every part of you, especially our last kiss

Please understand, I couldn’t go on with the lie

You will always be part of me, but eventually it just had to die

I loved that’s why I let you go

There are things you cannot know

It’s not that I didn’t care

I just didn’t think that it was fair

I’ve come to accept this as my fate

It was fear and never hate

I don’t deserve to have you here

I was gone so long ago

Long before I finally let you go

I am sitting here writing this letter to myself

It was meant for you, but it will remain on this shelf

Nothing more to explain what I’ve done

All you need to know is this darkness has finally won

So I break away against your will

Your eyes so cold, leaves such a chill

I know there’s nothing I can say

To make it all just go away

You will always be part of my soul

And I’ll keep the part of yours I stole

Please keep me as I used to be

Not of what I had later become
