I Cannot Let You Go

Let go… I never could, not even if I tried,
Let clouds of hope keep racing through the sky.
Though spears may fly behind me as I stand,
I cannot let you go, nor meet my end.
I cannot let you go, though you may kiss another,
And trample on the love I gave you, my beloved.
The love that weighs so heavily on my heart,
You pushed me away; I have no strength to start.


I cannot let you go. If the sun should burn
Your skin to ashes, I would still return.
I’ll come unseen, to comfort and to save,
And quietly my love to you I’ll give.
Like a cross of fire, through sorrow and despair,
I am yours forever, though my last meal be there.
I cannot let you go, even if you leave…
I cannot let you go, even if your words make me grieve.


Let go… I cannot…
When sunlight cuts the mist in two,
When you’re a mirage, a dream so sweet, yet untrue.
Let go… I cannot…
When all my dreams lie scattered in the dust,
When my soul’s deepest fear becomes my fate at last.


Let go… I cannot…
I cannot.
