Please let me rest in peace

by Toni   May 4, 2004


I’m tired, I’m weary of this place
This silent stinging game
The tears, the fears, the breaking spears
The heartache and the pain

Standing motionless, fixed to the ground
Cold droplets sear my cheeks
Creating a slow stream of numbness
Far too cold to speak

As I stand I melt softly away
My aching legs give in
My weak body collapses to the floor
In the end, it must win

Shivering in the damp, cold dark
Enclosing me within
Eyes stinging from losing sight of hope
Thrown into the bin

I dig my nails deep into the flame
No pain from the burn
Head hits hard on the moist floor
The world begins to turn

Salty tears run a rift down my face
Into a pool on the ground
Mixed with warm blood already there
I know I won’t be found

My rag doll body loses all strength
More tears line my eyes
Sadly falling from my pale face
The face I so despise

I’m lying here, drifting away
My heart drops like a stone
Sliced in half and left to weep
Tilted, empty, thrown

Clammy hands wrap around my arms
A new pain drives inside
Digging into those deep red grooves
I can no longer hide

I can see worried faces speak
Mouthing words I can’t hear
I turn away from the blinding light
Screaming in fear

My ears burn from your whispers
Delving into my ear
Haunting me each and every time
You are ever near

My body is frozen, cold, still
My heart pumping fast
Darkness surrounding me now
How long will this last

Yelling out in her last attempts
To defeat the ebony grave
Her body shaking, fearing the worst
Too lost to be saved

All alone, falling into silence
Please let me go
I’m so sorry but please let me just go
There’s too much to know

Its too late now, time has passed
Allow my life to cease
End this pain, the pouring rain
Let me rest in peace
