Alone
The warm concrete kissed my cheek
when I had finally stopped falling
and I lay there,
at peace in the sunshine,
bruises on my knees and
scrapes on my hands
bleeding oh so quietly
while I sang my uplifting songs of gratitude.
It's finally happened,
I met the ground,
The world quit spinning
all around
The clock just stopped
The pain just quit
I just embraced my moment
while my throat was slit
I sang and sang and lay and prayed,
My time has come, it's over now, bless my soul
forgive my sins
--scratch that--
I don't give a sh**
Just leave me be, here on the ground
Let me sing without a sound
Let me be at peace
In my effortless glow
Let me have my minute
Of being alone.
