When he said
To let it go
I knew it was time
I’ve been too slow.
Little blue eyes
With very short brown hair
When I closed my eyes
I saw her standing there.
All alone
So afraid
Guilty as hell
Of all the sins someone else made.
I let her die today
Just walk away
She doesn’t need my protection anymore
Doesn’t want me to guard her way.
Sometimes we think we are standing up for someone
But they are gone
They died a long time ago;
Someone new now stands there instead.
We have to realize
What was
That little girl
She’s now dead.
She took his hand
And turned around
I cried, but not alone
As my knees hit the ground.
She was me
So long ago
Abandoned and forsaken
With nowhere left to go.
So I spent a life
Protecting her
Fighting at my inner core
No matter where we were.
I let her go today
I let her die
Told her I couldn’t fight anymore
Then I told her why.
Today I walked away from her
I told her she was fine
There was never anything wrong with her
That she was beautiful
She was wanted
She was never alone
But I couldn’t fight for her anymore,
Because nothing I could ever do
Would ever take anything back.

Thank you. It was difficult.
