Let Go - Magpie 104


Let Go

Set me free
Release me from these mortal coils
You are pulling me down
with this love
that drowns.

This Magpie prompt after Whitney Houston's death seemed entirely too dark and suffocating. I could not get beyond the comparison in spite of the expression of bliss on the woman in the image.

  3. Love can stifle if we don't learn to love and let go...

  4. Good one! "I love you" should not mean "You are one of my personal possessions."

  5. It takes a while to realize we are drowning ... feels empowering to yell 'let go.' Very nice!
