Death's Promise

By: Ember

I hate this depression that seeks my embrace

Overwhelming me, tearing away my happy face

I scream inside, unable to open up my soul,

To the feelings inside, the forgotten goal

I feel such pain, intense and insane

Question everything in my life, again and again

I try to love, but I don't know why

Am I even capable of living a lie?

I put on a happy face, I pretend it's all good

Nobody can see inside to my dark mood

Love and care for one, give up another

The confusion I feel is enough to smother

Rip out my soul, shreds of agony

Heart bleeding out, black passion of ecstasy

Seeking pain I can feel on my flesh

Releasing it all with the touch of dead breath

Fate beats me and takes me no choice of my own

Makes me forget I want love alone

I can't do this, I can't, I can't, go on

I don't deserve their love, I'm a worthless one

So I curl up alone as I've always been

Accepting myself and my list of sins

Death opens his arms, beckoning for me to see

Soon I will accept the peace he offers me.
