I Release You With Love.

It was when I saw that snake

That sign of deceit

I knew, through you, my heart would break

There was a photo of you two

My vision had come true

Then I saw his eyes

And realised

They were kind. And yours in love

And my moment of pity meant little

Because though my insides

Were shattered and brittle

What I felt wasn’t true.

At least, not like you two.

That pain was desire

And it’s not for hire

It’s out there. Just not yours.

So how could I hold it against you?

Let this thing of beauty

Be where I take my cue

I say it to the stars above

I release you with love.

That snake has another meaning

It sheds its skin, reborn gleaming

Through you, I’m free. Thank you.
