The fear of pain I've kept all my life
Clutched to my heart
Encircled by breath
Have to let it go, let it out
Set it free
The fast flow of air cleanses my soul
An icy purging
Freezes my regrets
Chills my passions
Sets them free
The flutter of clothing shredded
My soul's learning lost
My lover's touch fading
Bequeathed to those left
Set me free
My hearing can't pick out your prayers
In the rush
Of the descent
It's supposed to be the last to go
But soon
Sensation
Stops
