Today I let die
An idea of what I was
And at the very same time
An idea of something I loved.

Today I let go
Today I became free
As I lost something I loved
And found that something in me.

Today I lost something
I kept grip of in my very core
By accepting at best it must of been nothing
To then accept to think nothing of something no more.

Today I let die
Something inside of me
Losing an idea of love
And with it an idea of me.

Today I lost a fight
To my fright gained something more
That in killing your own love for something
Something more thrilling might then lie in store.

Love does not die
It just gains new direction
But it does kill something inside
To admit its misplaced affection.

Today I lost something
An idea of something I loved
For something has given me nothing
And now of something nothing feels good.

Today I let go
Today I became free
As I let go of something
And found that something in me.
