Eggemoggin Reach
Letting Go
Sitting on the beach at
Eggemoggin Reach
I make a small altar in the sand between my legs
Two candles connected by twine
I am here to let you go
I am here to let us go
This beach where we first met
Where we first shared a kiss
Where I thought I fell in love with you
So mesmerized by your sad dark eyes
And your poems of lonely desperation
I am here to let you go
I am here to let us go
The candles flicker and twitch
As the flames ignite the cord
Severing us and our karmic debts forever
Severed with love, honor and respect
But not with devotion
My devotion belongs, and always has,
To someone else
You always knew that in your soul
I am here to let you go
I am here to let us go
So many unspoken lies and pretensions surround us
Built on a desire for a connection that was not meant to be
I don’t want to make you cry
But we never were who you thought and wanted us to be
I was never the man you thought I was
I belong to someone else
I am here to let you go
I am here to let us go
