Time To Go

Please note this is NOT an indication of what I'm "about to do".  I wrote this 5 1/2 years ago 
when my depression was at it's worst.  I wrote it intending to leave it for my husband and 2 
sons.

It's now time for me to go
I'll quietly fade away.
Nothing you can do 
or say will make me 
want to stay.

I'm tired of the darkness
The lights are long gone
There's no reason left
for me to carry on.

Don't take the blame,
it's not your fault
it has nothing to do with you.
It's all about me and only me.
It's the only way left
to get through

My whole life I've cared 
for everyone else 
and always put myself last
Now it's time to take care of me
and forget about the past.

May the tears you shed
be tears of joy.
Now that I'm finally at peace
Rejoice that I'm no longer
suffering and 
I've finally gotten relief

Don't ever forget me
and know that I won't 
forget you
I've taken you with me,
you're deep in my heart.
Think of me often 
and we'll never be apart
