Final Lullaby

Will you be angry in the morning?
How will you react when you find out?
I hope you will forgive me one day.

I wish it had not come to this.
I never wanted to hurt you.
But I am dying tonight.

I smile as we dance to another song.
You smile back and hold me close.
This is the last time I will ever see that gleam in your eyes.

This night is drawing to a close.
You lead me away to our special place.
A sweet melody plays on your lips.

You walk me home and kiss me goodnight.
The taste lingers as the pills slide down my throat.
Your song plays over and over in my head.

It's time I go home.
I was not meant for this life.
Goodbye my love.

My eyes fall closed slowly.
I feel everything growing colder.
But inside, my soul is warm.

The pain is finally over.
This is the end.
Your sweet voice sings me to sleep.

In the morning I will not rise.
Tonight I find peace.
With my final lullaby.
