The Deadly Venom Sleep

The deadly venom crept through my veins The world started to drain away I laid there going insane Insane was my thought of the ones I would lose Crying out for my loved ones If I could chose All the different things I would do Sub coming to the poison in my body feeling my body rotting from the inside My mind couldn't understand I was dying My soul inside crying I closed my eyes without saying goodbye in hopes that my soul would rise Returning to grace Where I would gain the acceptance of the one who called me sane Drifting down into a deeper sleep Where I heard him speak Peace be still At that moment I could feel the peace and serenity most seeks When I fell into the deadly venom sleep

This has a hopeless feel.

April, this leaves open the troubling question....what is/was the deadly venom to bring on such sleep? Intriguing write as it brings us to the edge and seemingly denies us a look into the pit.
