And Now I'M Done

In the darkness of the night
As I walk through the city,
I can see the light
And all its pitty.

As I ravel in my coat
And trip out the door,
I lie there in my coat
Broken on the floor.

With all my fury
I grab a knife;
And with the word "dearly"
I end my life.

Now as I climb the stairs
The gate is locked,
I go where no one dares
Where life is mocked.

As that once bright light
Starts to dim,
It goes back to night
And life turns grim.

And now I'm done.
