Death
As I shiver in the cold
No where to hide
No where to go
To me they lied
Everybody to me said
We all love you so much
I believed it in my heart and my head
They lied the whole bunch
Life a prison it has become
No rights no privileges I have none
That is the answer that is the sum
I stand alone the only one
I care no more
Life isn't worth it
My heart has been tore
I'm a bottomless pit
I couldn't care less
An unloved person in this land
The truth to you I confess
I am dying in this sinking sand
I can take no more
I'm at the end of my rope
I'm tired of my live being tore
I have lost all hope
I have no reason to go on
No reason to fight
They should be happy for they have won
I'm blind to it all for I have lost my sight
How I suddenly long for the taste of death
To brush my lips and to hug my heart
To take with it my health
And allow me from this world to depart
They've stolen my life
And turned my hert to stone
Putting me through strife
I will no longer condone
The ones who have gone on before me
Are lucky they no longer suffer like this
How long to be like them set free
How I wished my life would take that twist
Death I beg you to
Over my body take control
My heart and body take control
For God has my soul
Oh but for death to
Wrap its arms round me
To silence the pain so true
To release the chains and set me free
I'm tired of this all
The pain is too great
Down to the ground I fall
For this is my fate
No longer will I fight
A struggle to put on
I long to exit this night
No longer accept the lies an cons
How I long to knock at deaths door
My blessed Savior and family to see
To walk upon Heavens floor
To be happy and free
People say they care
But unto you they lie
The pain no longer will I bear
For I give up to die
No way out
No other choice to make
This I have no doubt
I beg God my life to take
Happy is but a word now
For that I never am
For this to you I vow
Around my heart I place a high dam
author's note
This was written several years ago when I had lost 2 of the most important people in my life
and was having bad problems with everyone else in my life
