I remember the day that I died
She stated with certainty
How it felt to let go
Like a single drop of morning dew finally falling off the tip of a tiny blade of grass
Her soul collapsed
beneath her tired shoulders
Worn down by years of weight she had held there
The corners of her lips that she stapled to her cheeks in effort to fake a smile
Slid down to her chin
A gasp for air
Her head sunk and fell forward chin to her chest because falling to the side meant contemplating wether to fall left or right
And that was simply too much at this point
Her eyes never shut so she had never lost sight
She spoke on
And when my heart finally stopped I knew I'd be alright
Nowhere left to run n hide
My body went first heavy limp n cold
lifelessly it lied
Waiting watching not sure which was worse
Then it happened She had finally let go
After years of endless battles n war
And if I could choose to win I'd still rather loose I'm sure
My soul left my body seaping out from within every pore
I now know what I could've never known before
At peace now no more fear
Only this she didn't speak with words
But we all felt what she intended we hear
