Levity

Spinning away from our youth, from ourselves Weaving in and out of regret Learning to let it go, pulling me behind the needle The threads of who I was when you died, unwinding me to my core I see you every night, in my dreams we are eye-to-eye I'm ringing out moments, memories, simpler times And strangers still and speechless, I can't find the words to say goodbye Loss has taught me nothing except how to live without you Searching for peace of mind and the strength to carry on I don't blame you for wanting to leave this world of pain My only option is believing there's still love left for me I never meant to put this on you Learning to let it go, pulling me behind the needle I've been counting down the days Until I don't want to escape the burden of life From this broken world I see I release myself I am finally free!
