Selfless Act

 Selfless Act 

Petals carried on the wind, away 

Your love falls into somber decay 

If you love me, you’d know 

Time has arrived to let me go 

A selfless act, set me free,

This earthly prison is not my destiny

If love within you ever did churn 

You would not let my heart burn 

For in Death’s embrace, I shall find,

My true freedom, my own peace of mind.

Love, like a river, flows vast and wide,

Binding hearts, yet choices guide 

To unclasp our tethered hands 

In farewell’s act, courage stands 

For if you love me, you'll surely see,

This anguished life is not for me
