One More Hour

by shadow   Mar 10, 2026


I said my final goodbyes
And you never even knew
A convincing facade of happiness
That you never saw through

The room was extra dark
A half past midnight
One more injection of poison
And everything would be alright

Just one more hour
And it would be all gone
No more responsibilities
No more right or wrong

I sink further into my seat
Letting it fill my veins
I was never scared
To let death take the reigns
