May this strife please cease to be
Before my life is end by thee
Take this pain, please, take it all
Before i plunge and take the fall
The pits are deep and dark at best
There my body will finally rest
Sands of times eternal flow
Please, my love, i wish to show
My story i wish to write
Hoping it is not a fright
The man i long for, i can't seem to speak
My body is probably too weak
My tongue is tied
My heart is ripped
And still too afraid to take the trip
