Lay Me Down

Purge these wanton eyes Lost gazing at her beauty Held visions burnt in stone Killing me ever so slowly Exhume my weary mind And cast it out to sea Drown it in Holy waters Where only the good survive Lend me your whispered breath For mine has been stolen A last gasp of indiscretion And my soul is now deflated Chop off my ringing ears So I can no longer hear The sound of the nightingale Seducing me in my mourning Lay me down and let me die This body has cried its last cry I wait with time no more I bid you all a final goodbye **A fictional poem**
