The night falls with a silent sigh, entwined are we. The understanding of life for which I pray flares once, then dies, Almost all hope end. My shadows surround me, crying. "An overdose will be painless". My chest fills with fright They come in closer It's almost over Then comes the light It drops a rope I can fall to my knees and give into the shadows Or run with all my might and struggle to climb I look up and grab the rope
