Love Poem: If You Love Something, Let It Go

If You Love Something, Let It Go

Free, free, my love; You are free
to love as I love, or leave me.

Have I not nestled you in
every unbroken promise since

before the vow not to trust came
to fall beside another's name.

I love, love, love you. See?
I perceive it as destiny.

I folded in your Cheshire grin,
your tongue, a sword upon my lips.

Inside my soul, it is wrong. So wrong.
Praying still the night is long.

I will let you be released
first light in the morning.

Long ago since-memories of bliss
fade with each empty kiss.

You will walk away, my love
and so, to keep you, I give you up.
