For the Love of God, Let Him Go.

His eyes could only stare at you

For so long.

It's not that you weren't perfect,

It's that he wasn't.

At least not for you.

You swear there's only one island

In this vast ocean

And you have nowhere to go.

When you're actually standing in a box

Drawn on the ground.

If you'd ever look up from that box,

You'll see a yacht

Ready to take you ashore

To the whole continent just behind it.

It's not a mirage.

It's really there,

I promise.

I know

Your feet

Are buried in the sand,

But

It won't take long

To dig yourself out.

There,

There are so many places

You can go.

But first,

For the love of God,

Let him go.

There's nothing more

Terrifying

Than discovering

The horrible world you lived in

Was all a lie.

There's nothing more

Exhilarating

Than discovering

The horrible world you lived in

Was all a lie.
