Let Me Be

Let Me Be by Urth Eagle Let Me Be How can I trust you? You’ve been so untrue I gave you my all…..my all I gave you I was faithful & sincere I thought you would be here-……Always….All days You proved me wrong, when you left me ….in all ways Alone in our home…. Alone in my heart…. My soul longed for your love I prayed often to God above “When will this marriage get it right?” So how can you expect that I trust you? Tremendous anguish I endured, I thought our vows were mutually pure I gave up my love….gave relentlessly You lied and you lied; I tried and I tried Yet, you left me alone, to cry while you were gone You should have been home then, Sharing the joy I tried to give But you craved that cheatin’ life ….that street life That’s how you wanted to live Daylight family man Evening & Midnight for lady’s man Now, life ain’t so grand? I’m tired, I’m through, Done! Time that I’m #1 For me! I have nothing left to offer you, But a chance to get it right the next time…. It just won’t be at my cost …..? I’m supposed to believe you’re ready to be true? I was so blue, Giving my everything, while you were out with your crew I can’t trust you! It’s gone! I will no longer live this lie God knows that I’ve tried, ……..and I still have the audacity to hurt for your pain When I know my heart sits in my chest, like shredded paper, Because my own remains Let me go! You left me freely & uncaring, Like Fall’s beautiful leaves, blowing in the wind I see your pain, but mine overwhelms it, Because, the love I gave was isolated for too many years My heart knows, that now is the time….. To leave this season in life behind I’m drained….no more pain from the same ol’ same “Now you say” you want your home It never left….you did How can you expect me to trust you? You’ve lied for so long Just give me my peace….let me be I no longer trust you My soul wants to be free Free of unnecessary worry….unnecessary hurt I no longer need you….I know my life’s worth You’ve abolished the trust here I have no more tears Just let me be….. My soul speaks now, “It’s time to be free.” © LeTisha.T.Bowie
