Forever Asleep

Darkness all around me, holding me down
Thoughts, memories, voices don't ever drown

Tearing me apart unnoticeably
All I ask is for you to see

Clinging on, trying to fight
Hope growing darker like the night

The cold, laughing memories play at my feet
The emptiness echoes throughout the street

My feet are lead one by one
Along with my memory, my heart, my son

Tears roll swiftly down my face
Dreams of freedom no longer a chase

I scream out loud and cry out to you
My heart is broken, torn in two

Do I stay or do I leave?
Do you care, would you grieve?

The last breath in, the last one out
I twist and turn, my body shouts

Piercing memories start to melt
Pain and heartache that should not be felt

My body sinks lower, the water so kind
The breath leaves my body, the voices; my mind

No more terrors, not one peep
My body now empty, forever asleep.
