.......Let me go........

You ruined me, and I'm not the same,
just wasted time, forget my name,
You'll always be here haunting me, reminding me of my fear,
I wish that I could run away, cause you won't disappear,

The many things I need to say have eaten me up inside,
deep beneath this numbness, covered by your pride,
Suffocating from your voice, Strangled by your touch,
Grasping for breath from under your lies, empty air is not enough,

Turned your back like you always do,
don't be suprised that I turned on you too,
Forget this familiar face its Become a shadow of the past,
Forget who you turned me into, just give me myself back...

I want out, just to run away from the nothing you made me become,
Bring me back my life, to change me to the person I ran away from,
Erase you from me, release your grasp, Torture me no more,
Stay away from me, your my demise, it's not you that I live for,

I despise you for what you've taken away, Part of me is lost,
Im scared that in you, it will stay, just another disturbing thought,
Ruined everything that I am, numbness fills your space,
Unchain your ties around my heart, take me away from this place,

Live alone in shame, with the person that you are,
you know you'll never change, and the way back is too far,
Don't bring your faithlessness back to me, take it somewhere else,
Living in your own insanity, you do it to yourself,

Lost in your thoughts, Killing you inside,
Tears deep as the ocean, Drowning in the tide,
Reached in my soul, stealing my heart,
Watched helplessly as you  broke it apart,

Refuse to open up again, the chance I'll never take,
Not my fault, its your affect, the choice isn't mine to make,
Let me go, Walk away, so this can be the end,
Hand my broken heart to me so I can love again...

thats one of the most beautiful pieces of poetry i think i've ever read. but i know where you're coming from... reminds me a lot of my ex.... who i found out was an alcoholic.... at least he's at treatment now... Well anyways enough about me. this piece sounds like you're hurting pretty badly, but just remember there is always a rainbow after a storm... and just keep your head high. you were obviously aware enough to end this relationship when it went sour.  well I am still amazed at what a great piece of writing this is. Please keep posting, you have a talent, and i love the story like structure.  very nice!!!!!!!
