A deeper tug that pulls at
The corners of my heavy heart
Like a minnow pulling away from the line
A sigh that is the intake
Of breath
That takes up all my strength
I am ashes soaring in the wind
A million pieces of dust
Settling down to Earth
My will is gone
Crushed by the lack
Of care
A sharp pang
A small twinge
Of regret
That I couldn't have done
Just a little bit more
Freedom's teasing just like
A swift breeze in the summer sun
Gone
Lack of care, lack of sleep
Is what pulses through me
Death, death, death
As I write this last farewell …
