Just Let Me Go
Hanging off a cliff
With your one hand on the edge
And I'm hanging on the other
Our fingers on its ends
"Just let me go." I said
With tears in my eyes
"No!" you shouted,
"I will not let you die!"
I looked right to your face and said,
"You can't hold on any longer.
We'll both fall off
Any time sooner."
"Please don't do this!"
You insisted stubbornly
I simply shook my head and said,
"This is how it should be."
"I'll always be with you.
Don't ever forget that."
As I said my last words,
I let go of your hand.
While I plunged into the darkness,
I heard you call out
Though we both know
There's no use for your shouts
You pulled yourself up
And soon you're on the surface
Wishing you haven't seen
The last of my days
Again you screamed my name
As you continued to weep
You watched as I fall
Into the trench so deep
What you haven't seen
Is the smile on my lips
Knowing that you were saved
From falling off this cliff.

This is by far my favorite. Tell me what's yours.
