# Never Let Me Go

Nowhere to run -

Nowhere to hide -

Out only to have a little fun, 

Then it's back to the grind.

  

You can't keep me around forever

  

The burden that is you weighs a ton - 

It's a miracle my back is still intact 

From caring for you - Remind me, am I your son 

Or your husband? Is the "crippled mother" just an act? 

  

You can't keep me around forever

  

Can't do this -

Can't do that -

A new chapter of my life starts and you hiss 

Anger is your soul - it's how you always react.

  

I can't stay here forever

  

For the first time, I found love - 

I hope our souls intertwine -

I hope Peace descends like a dove 

Upon this house - you and I are in a bind.

  

I won't stay single forever

  

Consistently a disappointment, you have a list 

Of every mistake I've made that makes you upset -

Your only child might as well not exist,

Or at least be a memorable vignette.

  

You shouldn't hate yourself forever

  

All I ask is to be let go 

Before winter comes 

And I'm buried with snow, 

Leaving you in the doldrums -

Sons won't last forever, 

  

But they must be on their own
