Do not wish upon a hope!
Grief is derailed,
Amid injections and responsibilities!
I’ve lost to death several times over –
The houses I live in
Are barren with old life –
And there’s nothing left to look ahead –
Except darkness and pain.
People talk to me of god,
And hope, and positivity –
I want them to come here,
Do what I am doing,
And then find the breath
To even speak.
I am broken like the #system
Of ambulances ringing out…
I have no strength left within me,
I no longer wish to shout.
There is a song in my head
It is beautiful and freeing;
And all who have gone before
Are the ones I am now seeing.
They come with smiles and open arms;
They come with the light of the moon;
They tell me they miss me;
Perhaps it’s time to join them soon.
If I can let you go,
I can let it all go.
You who have carried me,
Through the ages
And loved a soul I don’t know I have.
You have seen me
Through word and pain
And there and back
And there and back again.
If I can let you go
And bear such mighty despair,
Your strength is now my name,
For, in letting go,
You have made me very aware.
