Levity

Spinning away from our youth, from ourselves
 Weaving in and out of regret
 Learning to let it go, pulling me behind the needle
 The threads of who I was when you died, unwinding me to my core
 I see you every night, in my dreams we are eye-to-eye
 I'm ringing out moments, memories, simpler times
 And strangers still and speechless,
 I can't find the words to say goodbye
 Loss has taught me nothing except how to live without you
 Searching for peace of mind and the strength to carry on
 I don't blame you for wanting to leave this world of pain
 My only option is believing there's still love left for me
 I never meant to put this on you
 Learning to let it go, pulling me behind the needle
 I've been counting down the days
 Until I don't want to escape the burden of life
 From this broken world I see
 I release myself
 I am finally free!
