I dip my soul
Into the deep waters

I cry out
Casually but strong

I seek and yearn
And beg for an answer

But no answer comes
And I am left
alone

The pain within me
The feeling I feel

This burning, this tearing
I just want to know

Should I let go
Or should I hold on

Should I say "be free"
Or "please stay with me"

Why does this strike me so
Why do I hold on

I can only stay for where
I can stay happy

When my light dies
So too, I leave
