Letting Go For Me

Please dig your nails into my hand, because I feel so far from land, even though my legs are buried in the sand, my heart has a certain ache, and inside my mind; I quake, just sitting here together, staring out at the lake, do you hear the wake, hear the downfall of my inside structure, hear me stall; hear me rupture? It might be better, if I had sent that letter, maybe there would be no stress, maybe if I could confess, but I wont, and it's not, so I will sit here; letting my heart rot, knowing that you call yourself mine but truth you are not, it feels like a dream, like any moment my ears should blow out steam, from all your heat, from all of my embarrassing defeat, because I feel all of this is just a tease, all of this has me on such great unease, it's eating at me like a disease, it no longer scares, to know you are truly theirs. In fact I'd say it's fine, but I think I've got to draw a line, where I let go of your hand, and I stand, I will apologize, and secretly wish inside; that you begin to despise, all that I am, and that I am; all that you damn, and I wish you knew so many things you will never know, like how in my heart I will never let you go, or how I love the way your hands go through my hair, how you basically are my air, while my words were honey, your words were stings, so you'll never hear these things.
