He Will Not Let Me Go

a light has faded to a dim morage existence has left my face his thoughts are now my own i can't see through this tunnel my mask is a permanent adhesive epitome of wrong he will not let me go although reason is within my reach the grasp is too loose for my control or is it the sight which is too far away i watch with a broken mind the corner jagged by emptiness without remorse from the blackened heart of the one i cannot save his breath is cold upon my face desperation penetrates my skin radiance has left my eyes my smile's authenticity gone ---somehow i break free from his gnashing claws that have been inside for so long some grace seems to enter through the barrier of my true core the walls crumble with hesitation for an instant i feel innocence cover me i spread my smile wide and breathe freely it's as if i have been reborn i can see things more vividly everything seems beautiful bright, pure, open wide i can speak without asking i don't feel tortured or ashamed i am not looking over my shoulder ---but he will not let me go he looms at me unwanted; unwelcomed he always finds me still controlling my every thought like a fire consuming me into darkness erasing my free will it is infinite i am under his command he will not let me go
