Let God Poem by Harlequin Rose

I've been drowning forever
I've been dying for many years
maybe now
it is time to let go
and let God
catch the rest of my tears
truth be told
i did not try my best
for i got caught up
in the abandon of youth
and it cost me more than
i ever could have imagined
i've lost everyone
i have ever held dear
I've lost them
to better hearts than mine
i do not deserve redemption
for i did not
and i do not
regret my sins
they are mine
and so i own them
and give them life
and breath
but they do not make me
they break me...

Will you remember me when I'm gone
will you bury my memory
in the eyes of the children
i will not leave behind
will my grave be shallow
so that i may see
the early morning sky...

i'll tell it to you slow
so that you'll remember it
when i'm gone
forgive my anger
my sadness
and my youth
for they are my crosses to bear
but this is a place
i can only stand for one night
so i must go
there is nothing here to hold onto
and so I finally let go
and let God...
