Vanishing

One moment we are here, the next we are gone
But the pain of you leaving me is still holding on
Will this feeling be with me till the day that I die?
Or can I release this burden, grow wings and fly?
Fly to the light of love, beauty and truth
Where it is not you leaving but me leaving you
But as long as the imprint of pain sits so deep in my soul
I will never feel free, I will never feel whole
First when I vanish completely and true
I’ll see, that being open and tender is all I can do
I’ll stop working so hard for my will to survive
Finally, surrender, vanish and fly
