Immortal
I am immortal,
I have suffered many losses,
And will suffer many more,
I shall wait,
Wait until I die,
Though the day will never come.
I am immortal,
I love you all so much,
I cry when you’re gone,
Though it never helps,
Living forever is such a curse,
But I can’t bring myself to take this life.
I am immortal,
Forced to wonder earth for an eternity,
I cannot die,
Though I so wish for the end,
Take me now,
Bring the end I so desperately seek.
I am immortal,
Take me through white gates,
Lead me to darkness,
I shall follow you through it all,
Like I did so long ago,
Take me now.
I am immortal,
I am trapped in this body that won’t wither,
I want to be free,
But the breathe won’t leave me,
Though my soul wishes to find peace,
My heart won’t stop beating.
I am immortal,
I can only cry these days,
Alive for so long,
And you all dead for so long,
I have cried so many tears I could fill an ocean,
And lived so many days to see the end of the world.
I am immortal,
Why can I not move on,
Why can I not die,
These days are not numbered,
And I cannot use this knife,
I cannot bring myself to do it.
I am immortal,
This cursed placed on me at birth,
I am scared,
So scared,
That I will never see you again,
Please let me find peace,
Please let me rest.
But the tears still sparkle in my eyes,
For my soul cannot rest,
I am cursed,
Though you see me blessed,
Step into my shoes,
For they are those of one who cannot die.
