Tortured screams in my sleep,
Rouse me from my nightmares
The longing I can no longer bear
Has taken its toll on my soul.
Alone as always with my thoughts
They wander, And the past
A book read too many times
The story unfurls again.
The answer presents itself
A grinning demon offers peace
The price is eternity, I’ gladly pay
Anything to be free.
As my blood pours onto the floor
There is no going back now
I couldn’t…Wouldn’t
As the knife falls from my grasp.
Now as I fade, on my lips a smile
I shed a tear for those left behind
The final action of flesh
Goodbye my friend.
In the shadows I now dwell
