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.
ugh...yeah some love is toxic like that...or you could be drowning in a good way..smiles...
ReplyDeletepowerful expression,
ReplyDeleteat times, we do need to pull out and enjoy the freedom.
Love can stifle if we don't learn to love and let go...
ReplyDeleteGood one! "I love you" should not mean "You are one of my personal possessions."
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the image!
ReplyDeleteIt takes a while to realize we are drowning ... feels empowering to yell 'let go.' Very nice!
ReplyDeletei like your point of view here, that she needs to let go
ReplyDeletehaunting suppleness
Love can often feel as if it's made of concrete!
ReplyDeleteLove can drown...
ReplyDeleteWhen love suffocates, it kills. Nice one!
