I can see it’s time to surrender
There’s no point in fighting anymore,
I’ll pack up all you’ve left behind
And walk you out the door.
***
There’s very little point
In holding a love that’s died,
Our love used to be so easy
That we never really tried.
***
I surrender now, you win
I’ve only to look into your eyes,
You’re dreaming of the future
Hoping freedom is your prize.
***
I know that I’ll miss
The phone calls late at night,
The hours in front of my TV
And the times you held me tight.
***
You’ll find someone to replace me
And keep you from the cold,
On the days you’re feeling low
It’ll be in their arms you fold.
***
So it’s game, set, match to you
I’ll let you go without a fight,
So see the white flag flying
I’ll kiss you goodbye tonight.

About the Creator
Colleen Millsteed
My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
