Let Me Go!
by: Teresa J. Lavender (A.K.A. Teresa Seavey)
Sadness touches –
with tentative fingers
the pain burdens my heart
the smile that never quite reaches the eyes
Let me go!
I did not mean to ask for your compassion
Why do you display it so readily
in your face, your eyes, your smile?
Let me go?
I want no more to need another!
I want no more another to need me!
Everyone, let me go!
I mouth words I feel obliged to say
I do not want sympathy!
I knew the path before I set out
Let me go!
Friendship – so desperately sought –
burns with each passing day
haunts me, stings my eyes, immobilizes me
I did not need to know how good it could be!
It is not mine!
Let me go!
The sinking is much easier
without a lifeline to hold on to
Please, please let me go!
I feel the need to immerse myself
in the loss, the pain
Let me go!

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
