Let me go

Let me go. Please let me go. Your iron clad thorns have struck too deep and I'm struggling to free myself from captivity. Have mercy. I can't fix you. For every time you bleed, I can't purge you of your feverish nightmares. I cannot make night into day-your faith is misplaced in me. My hands aren't made of steel, I'm not whimsical, your fairy godmother donned in worn purple converse and a knitted granny jumper. I've got more weaknesses than an Achilles heel. Don't make me indestructible as I will fall, and fall I will and you make the choice whether you add your chain to my link or cut your loses before you rust. So let me go. Let me go.
