What would it feel like just to slip away…?
i was wondering as i was
shivering in the snow
how it would feel
to just let it all go
forget your worries; your sorrows; your lifelong mistakes
slip into the silent otherworld
one word is all it takes
why do we cling so hard?
why not just fall away?
it’s humanity’s first instinct
but why were we made this way?
it makes no sense to me
perhaps someone’s laughing from above
but all i know is this…
we hold on because of love.
Dark poetry has its place. As any artist will tell you, there is no light without dark.
But this piece was indeed saved by the last line, I agree.
