Dust Amongst Ideas

I thought of letting you go

Because I held on for so long and produced nothing

But you are mine and I cannot give you to someone else

I cannot allow someone else to do with you what I failed to do

What I lacked discipline

and motivation

and drive

to do

I thought of letting you go

To something sweeter

So you could be treated fairly

Treated like the magical work of art you are

Instead I decided to be selfish

Because you are mine and I cannot give you to something else

I thought of letting you go
