Let Me Go

by Nick Gisburne



I need to sleep, forever. Let me go.
I need to feel the freedom of my dreams.
I need to follow footprints in the snow,
To chase the child who made them, but it seems
You want to pull me back, behind the line.
You want to hold my soul, to break my will.
You want what you will never see, a sign
Of something more, a miracle, but still
I need to sleep, forever. Let me go.
I need to fly, to fall, to fade away.
I need to speak, to somehow let you know
The time is right. There is no other way.
    My time is over. Live without me. Grow.
    I need to sleep, forever. Let me go.
