I slip away

so easy to drift into dreams

my mind is willing

and flesh is all too weak

afraid to give in

yet unable to deny you

sobbing

I turn away

too painful to linger on memories

my soul weeps in vain

and tears give out befor the pain subsides

broken and destroyed

still I can't deny you

peacefully

I go away

neither easy nor painful

my life is my own

my will is strong

and life is richer

there is no need to deny you
