Tonight

Tonight I sit here as I suffocate
Walking away 
A task in which I can relate
Another time I must pay

Breathing hurts as tears threaten to escape
Deep breath
My head hangs shoulders drape
Peace will only ever be found in death

Looking forward but cant look back
How do I accomplish this task
I have to grasp the fact
There is no one I can ask

Tonight I look back at my time
The days months and years of my past
All the mistakes oh the grime
Will this moment begin again or will it be my last
