Horribleness

If only fate could allow me death ,
I could forever be grateful,
If only destiny would cut me loose ,
I wouldn't wonder again.

If only death was a stone throw away ,
I could pay a visit without turmoil,
If only I had known ,
I would have never existed!


I dance with flames ,
I sing with claims,
So  big you become a venture ,
A truth sorted beyond reach .


Come to me gentle love ,
Come to dear hope ,
Kiss me not so long ,
Death I wish for ,you are my sunshine.


If only tears would let me see ,
If only guilt would let me act ,
If only the past would let me live ,
I would be with you dear death .

Tell me a soothing warning,
Shout at me a command to follow ,
I can't leave kissing ashes without that fire ,
Burn away the tiring joy .


Is it not tears I look forward to ?
Death,is it not the burning I long for ?
Is it not the curse I want ?


Take pride in my torture,
My body is a template ,
A canvas written with a bleeding scalpel,
Kill me but let me fall onto your hands .
