Release

He is a part of me I need to set free, a piece of me that I want to release, but I can't.
He is stuck in my mind like a tape on rewind; I keep pressing play, but yet he stays.
He had a hold on my heart, a chain on my soul, and as much as I deny, I don't want to let him go.
My heart aches for his love, and my eyes cry hoping for a sight of him.
My mind has blocked all the memories, confusing good for bad, traded happy for sad.
I see only perfection, I remember only bliss,
I have forgotten the hurt, but I have remembered his kiss.
My mind had forgotten the reason that he's an ex,
My mind has erased all memory of the next.
Yes, he's playing like a love song stuck on rewind,
But now it's time to erase that song and take back my mind.
See I've held on for too long, I need to let go;
I need  healing in my heart, I crave closure for my soul.
