Peace

Everybody sitting there Thinks I killed myself that night But they are wrong, so very wrong I didn't kill myself, you did The coffin placed beside you Holds my body cold But that body is naught but flesh and blood It doesn’t hold my soul I had given my soul to you, my dear The day I slit my wrist It’s a wonder that you do feel the pain Of the death of one not missed I remember the day so clearly now You stood there crowned in flame I offered you my self, my body and my soul But you just laughed and turned away My soul left me that night Through rivers of tears and blood I cried so hard as I sliced the flesh And watched my sorrows drip into the mud They found my body lying there Cold as ice and white as rain Another suicide they said and took me home And even then you felt no pain Rest in peace says my headstone But what would it know of peace? Peace is alien to me today and forever You're the only thing that brought me peace
