Of No Import

It meant so much
It was Life or Death
It was so important
Needed with every breath
 
I lived with pain
I worked for it
I Sacrificed my heart
Every day into the pit
 
In a past moment
In the past now
In that sad lived life
It consumed me somehow
 
Now I can see
Now it is so clear
Now I may save
What has no fear
 
As I turn away
As I lose my grip
As I finally see
Life; and let it slip
