Weigh Me Down

As my body hangs limp
Swaying in the wind
Back and fourth 
From side to side 
As every breath is 
Stolen from my lungs
I think of all I’ve lost
All my dreams
All my plans
All my future
Drifting away
I cant stay here 
To much pain
Its almost over now
Its to late 
All my problems 
They weigh me down
They pull the rope tight
As it stretches to the ground
Tears pour from my eyes
As I say good bye
Hanging myself
What a way to die
