Letting Go

Letting go of the world

I'm holding on,
Won't let go.
I'm happy,
Just fine.

Why should I?
I'm o.k.
Nothing's wrong,
It's alright.

Your begging
Won't change
My mind:
Is made up.

Your promise of
Something better
Is coaxing,
Tempting.

No! My mind
Is made up.
I will grasp,
Life or Death.

But to die,
Alone, 'twould
Be an awful
Fate, I know.

You promise
Life, forever
And love,
Always there.

I want it,
To never cry,
To never die
Alone.

I'm being pulled
So equally,
But wait.

A stronger force,
That's You--
Pulling, urging
I will go.

The pain I feel
As I let go
Is nothing to
Be compared-

To the joy
And hope I know
Now, I'll never
Be alone.
