Death Wish

You wish to die,
You wish to be gone forever,
But things can change,
change its course.

You cut your arms,
to feel the pain.
You hide in the dark,
to be alone.
You see your reflection,
then break the glass.

But your death wish wont come,
It will only come,
when its ready.

You love the look of a grave site,
because you wish to be in it.
You dress in black,
and stay away from society,
but your death wish wont come.

So leave it to death,
When its ready to come,
cause before you know it,
You will be gone soon...
