I Quit

I Quit

Pain hauls inside my heart.
My head feels like exploding,
So much self-hate eluding the little love I have.
Thought that I was finally in love and at rest,
But my heart was shredded into pieces.

Indeed love hurts, I feel unworthy of love,
Why do I always love the wrong people?
A question that I can not find answers to.
Maybe I should just take my life away, 
Maybe there is more peace afterlife.

Tried to poison myself with alcohol but I failed,
My heart beats in reverse and all is misplaced.
I am in tears, tears not evident can't even imagine,
Lost in a place of anger and sorrow no one vision. 
Such a sad world we live in, where love no longer matters.

Pain is growing inside of me, happiness has vanished.
Joy is what I hoped for but now I am torn apart in darkness.
I wish I could escape this pain but I can't do anything about it.
What if I was never meant to fall in love?, what if I am meant for tears?

Maybe an overdose would be a solution to the problem of my life,
Maybe what awaits me on the other side is much better,
Please understand why I did this, I am not selfish.
I just need peace and happiness, nothing here gives me that. 
I am drowning in sorrows and tears that I can not hold back. 

I am sorry but I quit.
I can not continue living like this,
I am sorry but the cruelty is too much for me.
Best I just quit and find the perfect place to be.
Please don't judge my action, be at peace.
