Dying Wish

All the lies and hate
And trust they fake
The bonds we break
Left with the bitter taste

It’s just another day within
The lives we try to keep hidden

I know you can’t take this
I know we can do this
Take my hand and drink this poison
The one they call life
The one they claim is necessary

Take me away, dear one
With you, wherever, forever
I don’t want to lose it all

All I ask of this world
Is if I’m to die
It’s deep within your arms
