Warm Embrace

I can't escape the loneliness which haunts me deep inside There's no one I can turn to and nowhere left to hide For years I have been tortured by these thoughts within my head My sanity slips far away with every tear I shed Control beyond my hopefulness and peace so far from sight I hate the waking thoughts I have and dread the dreams at night Can Death secure my restlessness the grave relieve my fears Or must I continue hating life through my remaining years Surely Death's a blessed end from all the pain I feel The misery within my heart can never be concealed I've reached the point of no return too great is all my pain I pray for Death to claim my soul before I go insane
