Bleeding lip

Lost all grip

Cheeks wet from too much care

Knots of repression in her hair

Eyes of desperation 

Last breath, exasperation 

Hands that trembled once with fear

That was her last tear 

Cover her with the cloth of the end

No longer will she have to bend

Went too far and she broke

Now say goodbye, one last stroke

Of that face you once knew 

Send her off in the sinking canoe

Don’t let her return 

You know you have something you yearn 

Follow your path now and don’t look back

You know now that soon you’ll no longer lack

All you need is you

Go forward and start everything new
