I’ve felt the fear.

I’ve felt the fear you feel within

The darkness that your thoughts do bring

The pain of life slipping away

The thought of this being your final day

I’ve heard the sounds within your head

The clanging thoughts of dread

The knowledge that your time is near

The thought of loved ones standing near

I’ve heard my voice saying there’s nothing to fear

Our loved ones are coming near

But now I think I understand

The fear of death

The pain of letting go is hard

The placement of that final card

It’s easy for me to say let go

When until it happens to me

How do I really know

the fear of letting go.
