Release

Every breath
Takes more than it grants
Every heartbeat
Leads into a deeper trance
Every tear
Steals more than exists
Always doing more
Than anyone insists
Til there’s no ease
For the ache in your chest
Life is incessant
You never get a chance to rest.
No escape
You can’t find a way out
And long ago
You completely forgot what you were so worried about

Darkness surrounds you
And peace overcomes your heart
You tear to shreds
Everything that was pulling you apart.
You thought there was no way out.
Now the coldness
Erases your doubt.

The cares you held
That made blisters on your hands
Slip through your fingers
But no one understands
Your eyes are blind
But you never wanted to see
There’s nothing left.
Finally, released.
