I’ll Let You Go Free. My heart is a bottomless pit. A Poem written by Colleen Millsteed.

It is extremely more difficult
Than I would have anticipated,
To write about what’s in my heart
And my thoughts that commiserate.

My crazy mixed up thoughts and feelings
Are both so complicated and confused,
But you’ll find life is definitely messy
When you heart is constantly abused.

Every morning when I wake up, I find
That I have a new point of view,
Day by day I’m consistently changing
My thoughts and feelings about you.

On my good days, I find that my feelings
Tell me that I no longer give a damn,
For life is so very much better
When I live on my own, like I am.

Then I begin to change my mind about you
As another morning and sunrise go on by,
And just the thought of you leaving me
Breaks my heart and compels me to cry.

Other days I find, that when I awake I seethe
With this burning anger and rage inside,
It’s then that I can’t help wishing upon you…
