WHY SHOULD I LET GO

 

WHY SHOULD I LET GO

OF THAT WHICH BREEDS SO STRONG

HEAT AND PASSION WITHIN THE HEART

ABDICATION AS SUCH IS WRONG

 

WHY SHOULD I LET GO

OF ALL BEHELD SO DEAR

CHRISTENED FROM THE DEPTHS OF TRUTH

BORN FROM DEMISE OF FEAR

 

WHY SHOULD I LET GO

OF THAT WHICH BECKONS STRENGTH

WHICH CHOOSES NONE BUT FAIR AND RIGHT

SHOWING ENDLESS IN ITS LENGTH

 

WHY SHOULD I LET GO

TO STRUGGLE ONCE AGAIN

TO OPEN WOUNDS OF SCARLET SCREAMS

PURSUING A WELL VERSED END

 

WHY SHOULD I LEFT GO

OF BEAUTY WARMTH AND GRACE

OF TALENT CHARM AND TENDERNESS

OF THE MEMORY OF HER FACE

 

WHY SHOULD I LET GO

WHEN TEARS STAMPEDE THE TRIES

TO PREVARICATE A PLEASURE-DOM

SHROUDED IN MY CRIES

 

WHY SHOULD I LET GO

WHEN IT’S NOT MY WISH OR WILL

DESIRES BURN TO KEEP MY PLACE

AND LOVE IS ALL I FEEL

 

WHY SHOULD I LET GO

WHY SHOULD I GIVE IN

WHY SHOULD I EMBRACE THE PAIN

OF THE LOSS I NEED TO WIN
