Let Me Fall Poem by The Poet Darkling

I wish you would release me
Just let go and let me fall
Don't worry that you'll hurt me
Don't worry yourself at all

Although it may be painful
Can't hurt any worse than this
Trying to live without you
Living life without your kiss

Let me fall, my bones breaking
In a crumpled pile I lay
And I welcome death freely
As I lie there and I pray

The pain's bad as it frees me
I try not to scream out loud
I lie there and I shiver
Underneath my funeral shroud

The mourners gather, saddened
With their tears upon their face
They're crying ‘cuz I died there
Where I fell, in that cold place

But with death comes my freedom
And an end to all my pain
So let go and let me fall
My cries softened by the rain
