just before you let go

I can tell by the shadow crossing your face
I can tell by the chill in your touch, I can tell
It will take you a long, long time to confess
But I know you too well
I know you too well

In your eyes I can see myself falling apart
In your eyes I can see myself taking the blame
I’ve been trying so hard to hold on to your heart
What a shame it will never be mine
What a shame

In your eyes I can see myself blurred by the rain
In your eyes I can see myself lost in the wind
And I’ll never, I’ll never forget all this pain
But I know that you will
I know that you will

I’ll be hurting for you, I’ll be hurting like hell
I’ll be broken to bits, I can tell, I can tell
But I’ll cut all the strings and I’ll set myself free
Just before you let go
Of me

Pretty nice. This has to be a song, kind of guitar ballad performing near the fireplace.
P.S. For me as a musician "eyes I can find myself" is better-sounding, but that's your choice, as an author.

Thank you :) Someone did put this to music a few years ago - a Swedish singer-songwriter. His is a rock-blues version which I'm not particularly keen on... but still grateful he got inspired :)Back when I just started writing, I really wanted every single poem to become a song, but now I don't mind if my poems are not put to music - quite a few songs are a bit of a disappointment...

"Find" is also a good option. You are a musician too? That's awesome! Do you write songs?

Not a songwriter, actually, but there was some experience long time ago.
