No God

There is no god, no god in my heart.
No savior to save me from falling apart.
My eyes are still open, my mouth still is breathing.
But inside I’m dying.
Dying and bleeding.
I open my mouth to take one more breath.
Feeling the feeling, the feeling of death.
Taking  one, one  final step.
Feeling as though I have just leapt.
Sleeping forever, can’t be so bad.
Stopping the hurt, stopping the sad.
Falling apart, kicking and screaming.
I see the world so brightly gleaming.
Stop and take another glance.
What is this? A second chance?
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain.
Don’t cause yourself any strain.
No one to save me from falling apart.
There is no god, no god in my heart.
