Sitting Here In My Darkness
Have you ever wondered what death felt like?
The feel of the blade as it cuts through your skin
Watching the blood flow free
Would you be afraid?
As you slowly slipped away
Or would it be a feeling of calm?
Like a heavy weight was finally lifted
And you are finally free
And the pain is finally gone
But in your final breathes would you think of those you are leaving behind?
The hurt and the pain you will cause them
Would you cause them hurt and pain?
Would you leave them with a life of empty sadness to face alone?
What is more important?
Ending your own pain and suffering
Or protecting the innocence of those around you
You see the sweet faces of love and childish innocence
On the small lives you created
And you know
You have to keep suffering so that they won't have to
You have to be strong so they don't have to
But do you ever stop wondering
What death would feel like
