Broken Soul

soul is broken
begging for relief
grief is holding  
no getting to sleep
white noise
silence
voices in my head 
echo images of violence
waiting in line 
with a prescription for death
please give me a discount
i could really use the rest
pull the strings 
of the clueless 
as the darkness sets in
begin to feel so useless
talk with a whisper 
hear you just fine 
theres no need to yell
though i dont mind
its ok
its alright 
ill be here 4 u
everyday and night 
and i would let you go
even if it broke my heart
coz if you dont wanna stay
how can we make a start
