let me go

if there ever is a day when im gone 

when the wind sweeps me away with the pale dust and dingy acidic rain

if there ever comes a day when my mouth is sewn shut for good and

there is no longer a way for me to say what i always wanted to,

let me go.

 

if there comes an hour when 

i am so desperate for relief that i break

that the shattered glass im standing on finally gives into the weight of my heavy heart

if i cant take it any longer and i need to be freed

let me go.

 

if  life has finally sucked out the last of me 

and i am no longer really alive, but just a rotting shell of a human

if i truely believe that any place is better than the one i am standing in currently

please

let me go.
