I'm a free spirit that has been shot down and wronged
I pleaded for help a kind gentle mercy
My heart felt like it rose up to my throat as you choked the life from me
I cried with pain; can barely speak your name
Throat swelling burning like a flame
This fire this burning I'm yearning for help
This is all I have ever felt
My life as its slipping
Veins running cold
My blood as its churning its last
My lungs choking for air breathing heavy
And nobodies there to hold me tight
Or watch this site as I fall to my knees
In a last try to be set free abandoning all of me
Because there is nothing left for me
Why can't I ever just see?
As the rain falls it sucks the life from me
My one joy to hear and feel the rain and it consumes me
And this ending pain; no more shame
Dedicated to my grandmother who always believed in me.
