To Set Myself Free
~By Sue~

As I sit here with you on my mind
I wonder how you are today
Are hung over from the night before
Did you make it through the night safe

Two and a half weeks have gone by
Since you came and said you were leaving
Sometimes I see you drowning your sorrows
As you keep on doing all your drinking

It seems to have taken a great hold on you
Your problems you keep trying to drink away
You don't realize they will only get worse
I wish you could see this before it is too late

It does me no good to even try to talk to you
You never even seem to hear anything I say
The hope is gone now of us being together
It seems that nothing will ever be okay

I couldn't have loved you more than I have
Those feelings I have now stuffed inside of me
To feel them now causes me too much pain
From this pain I have to set myself free

I waited as long as I possibly could for you
Now I have to leave and make a life for myself
A life that I know will be a whole lot better
I only hope that you will take care of yourself

It takes a brave heart to reclaim one's life. Each of us is ultimately responsible for our own well-being. He hasn't learned that yet---you have! My prayers and best wishes are with you.

Sue - It takes a long time to realize that we cannot change anyone but ourselves. I am glad that you are moving on - you deserve a happy life. This was a heartfelt write and I enjoyed it. Chris

You go girl and set yourself free
That's the only way you see
He has to go deeper before he knows
That it is downhill the way he goes
No help from you he now will accept
But one day he'll know he's in your dept
You're a strong lady, you'll make it Sue
I respect you greatly, I really do

SweetSue~
While I know it isn't easy ...
-it never is-
someday at least it will be okay~

When you honestly can say-
'I couldn't have loved you more than I have'
then you know you've done all you could do~

Stay strong gal ... you CAN ! You WILL !
Love n' hugs~
