Sweet Release
Oh sweet release
lines kept straight
crimson friends
come too late
The works begun
the rage is quelled
dripping wisdom
dark angels of hell
cold and sharp
my soul doth sigh
forbidden to live
forbidden to die
Oh sweet release
speak my name
in this truth
there lies no pain
letting go
letting out
breathing in
breathing slow
Oh sweet release
you've come at last
my future cuts
into my past
- Patti
