In Your Name...

I’m sorry I’m letting go 
We’re both drowning below 
Deep into an abyss of confusion 
We’ve enjoyed every moment, but merely an illusion 
Please, my one, please, baby understand 
I will always be the one to hold your hand
Even if you’ll turn your back as doubt prevails
I will always see beyond your anger and wails
Forgive me, but I have to let go 
The reason is of this we might never know
Baby, in your name 
A martyr I became
Without regret or gain
I’m letting go, immersed in pain 
Baby, in your name 
I extinguish my flame 
My heart will shatter forever
But your happiness I won’t sever
On this path you have to travel
Make me proud and my agony will unravel

True as always, I say “baby, I love you,  
And, adieu, my one and only, adieu”

I am glad that inspirational poem was in your service - I am glad God is always standing by and more. He is the one love we say no goodbye to. You will walk forever, my love, in the certainty that you are better wood than any flame. Good poem. Love
