Dying Peacefully

So peacefully you sleep.
I lay my head down on your chest
And listen to you breath.

Your heartbeat slows
As the blood from your wrists flow.
Am I the only one that knows
All the secrets that your broken soul holds?

You let me in.
I let you down.
The evil wins.
It’s over now.

I thought that I could help you
But I just could never get through
Not matter what I tried to do,
So now you must start over new.

So peacefully you die.
I lay my head down on your chest
And listen to you cry.
