give up

Giving up,
I have no choice,

from this love 
so very true,

this love only of me
and not for you,

so I take clay up in hand 
and painfully walk away,

with only the memories
of what we once had one day,

and it seems just like yesterday,
or not even that long ago,

but my heart sees this is the time
to let go, to just let go,

but my heart it is a fighter
fighting for it's life,

not wanting to let go,
of the one I dreamed as wife.

Just face the facts and get on your way,
though your love was real,
this place you can not stay.

Real love for only one,
will only end in pain,

this pain I have been knowing
in endless heart breaking refrain.

Give up on the dream that lives
only in own heart and start over,
in this place you must restart.

Emptiness, pain,
this illusion real
for but one.
