If you hold on for far too long

If you hate someone,
Don't hold on to the little strings;
the strings that keep them attached.

One second more than need be,
is another second risking the tears --
tears of one who don't deserve the pain.

Let go quickly and swiftly.
Don't hold on for far too long.

One second too late,
and their hanging is at your feet.

Be the witch with the stone heart;
show the grays and the blacks.

Your fake words,
False hope,
go elsewhere.

Kicking a dog,
when it's down.

That's what you're doing,
when you come back to me.

I sat there at the keyboard,
helping you out with our mutual friend.

I'm keeping my words,
but not because of you,
but because our friend needs us.

I don't need you in my life,
because I have just noticed what you
were holding me back from.

There's a great chance of sun,
and it's because I let the clouds go.

My umbrella in my hands,
I'm ready to let you go as well.
So ta ta,
and farewell.
