Letting Go

Letting Go
By, Jess Dickson


I’m screaming silent pleas
Beneath these prison sheets
Hearing only muffled whispers
The blurred hum of mechanics 
Pumping their entrapment
Don’t you know I’m already gone?
My spirit took flight beneath the knife
All that remains is skin
There is no soul within

Your eyes are searching
Seeking answers in the void
I can feel your heart breaking
Realizing our dance has ended
You hear only the beeping
The turning off of breath
Dreams and life forsaken

Light dances in my darkness
Please don’t cry
I’m finally free of all the pain you tried to heal
My heart has found its flight-wings
I’m soaring home now
Goodbye love
I’ll be waiting for you…
