Love Poem: Golden Knife

Golden Knife

Teach me to love you less and set you free…
When you feel that you are forced with me..
Even when you know that my love is so strong..
Teach me to let go of you..Even if i want you more..
Many months I tried to give you a perfect life..
Gave you everything that you desired in your life..
But it was never enough I know it by now..
Yet I am holding on.. Because I believe its true love..
But I know you are like a golden knife…
That I keep get stabbing for being so kind..
Am I a fool I ask myself every time..
To be stabbed and keep bleeding until I die..
I am tired and I am draining out of this life..
I need to let you go and move on in life..
I love you and care for you.. But..I too have a life..
I can’t go on bleeding every time..
Because I know you don’t want me but I know…
Someone someday will cherish my life..
And heal this cracking bleeding heart of mine..
I say this to you one last time..
Please teach me to let you go out of my life!!
