Can't Let Go

A painful past

I can't erase

I write as tears

Stream down my face

I know that I

Am not to blame

And yet I lose

Like it's a game

I want to love you

To hold you near

To tell you things

You need to hear

I can not lose

Love cannot die

You are my world

You are my life

To be with you

I feel complete

without you now

I feel defeat

Like I am drowning

In sorrow's pool

I can't let go

Perhaps a fool

Your love I know

Is not pretend

As demons past

You must defend

I want to be there

To help you through

I'd travel the ends

Of the Earth for you

I will not go

My heart is true

I can't let go

Let go of you

I will be here

Though silence cries

And hope that you

Will change your mind

To see that I

Am the one for you

And that you love me

As much as I love you
