You are losing your grip on me

Although your talons dig deep

Into my back

I shall writhe in my agony

And shake you loose

And even as my strength wanes

I can feel your grasp loosen

High above the earth we soar

Hunter and prey

As you suspend me above fate

Gripping me with death

One last gasp

One last twist of my resolution

Something snaps and gives

I roll onto my back

Staring up at your silhouette

As the wind rushes past my ears

The earth closing in
