Set Me Free
I must have loved you more than I could bear,
since you linger in my mind, so freely.
The stay of your welcome is overdue,
peace is scheduled to visit me.
I find no need to drown in my shame,
for all trespasses are forgiven.
I've shed enough tears,
dampened myself to sleep,
to cancel the self-blame of losing you.
I've grown tired of pity parties of loneliness,
please leave these premises.
Anxiety has escaped me,
you are no nemesis.
