Air

As soft as the breath I let out

It doesn't hurt

Not like I'd expect

It caresses me

soothes me

Free

and open

With no more ice

or cold

It takes seconds that

Feel like minutes that

Feels like a lifetime

Lifetime

Such a long word

Feels like a long word

That's no longer for me

I saw her smile

Right before the world tipped

Saw Joy

Love

So it's true

Maybe if I fought it could have been mine

But the hurt

Pain

Insurmountable sorrow

A thousand tears weighed me down

Pulled me over

My Heart races as it never has before

I feel terror and yet through it all

I'm completely exhilarated

Completely free

So as I fall into the darkness

That feels more like light

The end

That is my beginning

I smile

And know that all is well

A broken airplane

Surrounded by a sea of Myrtle
