Let Go
I bit into his flesh
until I could taste the blood
It was dark and I could not see his tears
but I could hear his wail echoing
while pine trees stood as witness
with every punch that I threw on his beautiful face
the chains in my heart began to crumble
and I realized, I am free at last.
But I kicked a while more
and pulled out a few hair more from his head
hoping, praying, that he would leave
but he continued, hugging on to me
like I used to, when I was a child, to my creators
and I was free at last, to let go
to break these walls I have created
and believe, that I could be worthy of love
that I am not an alien, but a human
that I have tears and I could feel
and I learned to let go.
but I said" you leave now, and you are safe"
"you leave later, and I will chop you down"
and he whimpered " Please let me stay"
