Unfinished Business

Just unfinished business calling my name

I would love to lay by your side but can't

It would be so futile laying in vain

An empty glass just a hollow vessel

Wondered what was wrong why love could not be

A feeling of incomplete just empty

Gnawing of the heart wanting to be free

Unfinished business refused to let go

Mistaking the wanting to be for love

Then I knew it was unfinished business

The thing I craved for, the thing I thought of

Sad to see you go but I must let you

Life's road is not always what you desire

Sometimes it adds a few logs to the fire

Letting go is so hard sometimes,

letting go is the hardest as it always takes a part of ones self with it. letting go also sets the soul free giving the heart the power to love agian.

I read this again, and it reminded me of my marrage, we were like two strangers and there was just nothing left, to feel nothing is so draining,
I felt like someone lifted the world off my shoulders and i could breath when it was over

Kind of sad because hes a nice guy, but we are better appart, this just made me think of the years i felt like this

I would love to lay by your side but can't
It would be so futile laying in vain
An empty glass just a hollow vessel

darkhorse the truth is it seems that life is full of unfinished business. But some unfinished task takes priority over others.

Ladyjewel you are so right. Sometimes letting go is difficult.

Thank you Cameal. Letting go does free the soul giving it back the power to live once more.
