Eternal Sleep
Dear Heart,
Please stop.
I'm about to break.
Dear Brain,
Please hush,
I don't know what more I can take.
I just want sleep, serenity.
What if I slept for eternity?
Would you miss me if I didn't wake?
Would it make your world quake?
Would you understand?
Would you pull away from my cold unmoving hand?
I don't know what I'm saying,
I know I've got to stay.
But some days the thought's just so soothing.
To know I can slip away.
I could have true peace,
Away from all the pain.
I could chose my fate,
The fast or slow lane.
I could make it hurt,
Or be as gentle as the breeze.
I just really want to have one last day at sea,
Or riding horseback through the country side,
Hooves beating on the ground.
Wouldn't that be lovely dear?
A wonderful ending site.
Some days I just want to quit,
Just have it all be done,
& Every day I ask myself,
Why do I put myself through this?
It's in my hands to hush my brain,
It's in my hands to stop my heart & just go cold./
But now I ask myself,
Why have I chosen to grow old?
& Now I truly fear I may not,
& I do not know.
Please stop.
I'm about to break.
