Last Exit of Lost Souls

Last Exit of Lost Souls The sharpest of blades cut the flesh It spurts and gushes forth, the red elixir of life Goodbye my Wife Last exit of a lost soul Sleeping pills and alcohol consumed with haste Is it enough to slip away and never wake? Goodbye my Son, I am sorry I lost my fight, the darkness finally won Last exit of a lost soul The rope is sturdy and strong The noose tightens around the neck One last leap and the column of life snaps Goodbye my Daughter I lost my battle and this was the only way out of which I never had a doubt Last exit of a lost soul The long hose connects the pipe In through the window make sure it’s sealed tight On starts the engine and fumes fill my vehicular tomb Breath long, breathe deep, soon, very soon, the longest and painless sleep Goodbye my friends, take care of my dearest don’t think of me as cowardly. I fought the silent fight for years and knew from within that it would end in a river of tears Last exit of a lost soul They are not to blame, society should hold their collective heads in shame Where is the understanding, support and guidance treated all too readily as a stigma? We are sick, lost and dark and not an enigma Help us, understand that we are not alone and can find the light Reassure us that you will stand by our side, face the darkness and fight the good fight We are lost souls who need not take our own life But wait until our time is naturally right Happy, loved, content, never having to be surrounded by darkness too tired and weary to lament
