Don'T Release Me

Don’t release me
I beg
My fingers laced, locked, ‘round that part—
That portion that still believes

Don’t forget 
I plead
The times you felt my soul,
And the truths that you could see

Please,
Don’t release me
I beg
I drown in the chopping waves of your words
I suffocate in your silence
The oceans deafening distance devastates me
And your uncertainty turns like violence

Time is my stumbling ally 
Confusion my foe
Please don’t release me
Because I can’t let you go.

Reads almost like an antipode to Engelbert Humperdinck's hit song "Release Me". Nevertheless, I liked it.
