Innocent Death

He looks at me I look away,

I try to move I cannot sway,

He turns to leave I start to cry,

I feel my heart can only die,

 

It’s been so long my souls been hurt,

Light into dark is all they convert,

I look in the mirror and see nothing there,

I look at my face only see a fake stare,

 

Why can’t I just run to a far away place,

Existently dead with no one to face,

I am trying so hard and failing so far,

I am not even hearing my songs to a star,

 

My gift is forgiveness but not the right kind,

Of darkness and ****** and hatred they find,

I close the book on a life that I end,

I put away something I never will send,

 

The dream of the hopeless and horrible way,

In my mind it will be in my mind it will stay,

And I will not stop until I don’t see,

The moon and the sun won’t stop staring at me,

 

If I hear a small whisper to soft for the ear,

I end my own life for the innocents fear.
