My room never seemed darker
I sever useless ties
If I ever am redeemed
I promise to silence wasted cries

Feel ensnared with no control
Unable to move, gasp for air
Swaying carelessly on the narrow edge
Of letting go, and going there

This continuing brutal journey
Has reached its compassless end
Wind is finally dying down
The choice mine to break or mend

The breeze is swirling, still
Start to wheeze, my lungs let go
Freeze time for a moment but
It thaws, melts like April snow

Lose my sense of taste, my lips
Numb as I fall out of grace
I tumble down, the coldness spreads
Into my body and face

The sky is far above me
I don't dare to take a peek
Not much point if I already know
I will not find what I seek
Written long ago
