Warm Embrace
I can't escape the loneliness
which haunts me deep inside
There's no one I can turn to
and nowhere left to hide
For years I have been tortured by
these thoughts within my head
My sanity slips far away
with every tear I shed
Control beyond my hopefulness
and peace so far from sight
I hate the waking thoughts I have
and dread the dreams at night
Can Death secure my restlessness
the grave relieve my fears
Or must I continue hating life
through my remaining years
Surely Death's a blessed end
from all the pain I feel
The misery within my heart
can never be concealed
I've reached the point of no return
too great is all my pain
I pray for Death to claim my soul
before I go insane
