A poem about someone stuck, trying to move on but can't because they're too attatched.

I'm going home

To rest my weary soul

and rescue this heart

before you claim it all

There's no more strength

In me that I can find

You captured this life

It is no longer mine

See what you've done

I can't fight

No matter how long

how hard I try

You've already won

But I can't hold on

No, not this time

Well I had thought

That you were what I loved

I was wrong

Now I am made the fool

There's no more hope

for you that I can find

I'm paralized by your embrace

of your unfailing lies

See what you've done

I can't fight

No matter how long

how hard I try

you've already won

But I can't hold on

No, not this time

I'm going home

to rest my weary soul

You captured this life

it is no longer mine

See what you've done

I can't fight

No matter how long

how hard I try

You've already won

But I can't hold on

No, not this time

Not this time

Sometimes it's very hard to let go.

I thought this was really good (but then I love poetry and prose and write more of this myself than anything else!)It is a poignant piece and expresses so much.  Well done for writing :-)

Response from Musicmaker43 (Author of This Life)

Thank you so much for your review. I'm glad someone took the time to read it. Not a lot of people read things on here that are not Harry potter related. Thank you and I'm glad you liked it : )Musicmaker43
