My voice may crack in each piece,
And my never meet yours.
And my fingers may never
Curl between yours.

And my feet meet the water,
That's swallowed up
My tears for years and years to come.

I've got a problem with dependence,
And even more so with
Letting go.

I never was one to believe in heaven,
Or hell,
Not till I got here.

Nothing melts my heart
Quicker than
Icy water.

My fingers and lips are
Cold and icy--
The wind's chilled them to the bone.

But maybe there's a cold in my
Soul,
That's chilling them worse.
A cold, wrapping and
Squeezing

The bits of life I have left.

I try not to let go

As I drop down in the deep depth.
There's no need to worry,
Because either way--
I cannot breathe.

I can kick and kick,
And scream-
But in between,
It'd never reach the surface.

But deep down here,
I've got my faith.
And hope.
