To: Rose




My head so heavy

My body so weak

My pain and sorrow

To end I seek.

I cannot think

I cannot see

A thickening blackness

Descends on me

Oppressing, smothering

I cannot breathe

I desperately beg

This weight to leave

Through twists and turns

Our lives do take

A maze of madness

I cannot escape

Tears come unbidden

Like blood it seeps

No bandage halts

My heart it weeps

I hate this life

What I have become

The wasted wreckage

Feel like half a man
