the reality of a released balloon

by Christel Crews

Let me go
Cut the tie
Maybe IÂ’ll land
By your side

And if IÂ’m caught
By the breeze
It was not by choice
Breaking you from me

Let me go
To float away
To not return
To you someday

So close the door
Turn off the light
For I have flown
Into the night

Author's Note: so, I’m not very big on rhyming, so if its cheesy, it is not the piece's fault, it is the author's

Love the title...really, it works very well. :) I know how you feel with rhyming...I always feel very weird when I rhyme... but I think you executed it very well here, it didn't feel cheesy to me at all. Rather, it flowed very well throughout. Nicely done! :)

Nice update to the ol' concept of giving a lover their freedom, and if they really love you they'll come back. I enjoyed the baloon analogy also. Quite clever!

Hi Christel, It's very good, flows smoothly, rhymes very well. It's not cheesy. I know mine doesn't rhyme all the time. Ya write from your heart too.
