Farewell

A foolish notion yes Sir indeed 
A broken life that doesn't bleed 
A moment's peace is all I need
To figure out this one last deed 

Chancing it all even the air to breathe
Demons encased are never freed
A blackened heart allowed to lead
Destructions Gore the devil's seed

A time dimly lit so far in the past
A rifles loud and angry blast
Insanity's web is quickly cast
A moment of memories that didn't last

The edges sharp, the cut precise
A weakened spot found in life
Falling prey to hurtful lies
A lonely soul now severed cries

Wetness drips from eyes never truly shown
Warmth seeping the only warmth that's known
Mistakes and cuts the things you own
Finally on the journey home
