Reach within a world of waiting watchers,
Draw out pain from their very souls.
Trace the words I spoke to you in the air above my bed,
And let go.

Lovely. I especially like, "the words I spoke to you in the air above my bed". This moves along the mind lightly, but lingers on the heart heavily. --I could almost see the pain being drawn out as if my a snake-charmer's fingers. Nicely done!
