Let Me Go


Let me go
Let me leave
Let me be
Let me breathe.

Let my fire
Burn your flesh
Let my taste
be on your breath.

Let me go
Let me leave
Let me be
Let me breathe.

I'll let you go
if you don't tell
them where I am.

Wow, this was intense
my heads still spinning
or was it that snake bite.

Chris, you've succeeded in saying so much with just a few simple (but extremely well~constructed) lines. I enjoyed this very much...nearly "too" much!

I think I have a little different take on this poem then everyone else. I see your second stanza contradicting your other two. You want me to let you go, let you leave but you want me to do this with your taste and fire on my flesh? Hmmmm Me thinks not! lol.

Great writing.

HA HA HA....GREAT

Great responses everyone...I think Marilyn and Corinne really maybe capture the full gist of the poem.  Asking to be left alone, to leave and forget what they have left behind them yet not allow the other to forget about them.....sound familiar???


Thanks All.

Sorry to try and throw a curve...but I know you all will enjoy it.

"let my taste
be on your breath"

Interesting.
Quick read,
Fun read,
Slow read,
"know" read.

Agree on the sensual thing-
very heated poem.
