Leave me alone

Do not wake me again

no wishes, i have to repair this

You cannot fix me, nor bind my wounds

I am broken...forever

I am all that you fear

dispair, hopelessness, hate

fear, cold, lonliness

Do not wake me again

I have dug my hole

wide and deep and hungry

I will satisfy its desires

no hope, no life, no wants

no needs, no joy, nothing

Do not wake me again

I do not wish to hear the birds

I do not wish to smell the air

it is rancid in its dread

As I lay my head upon the pillow again

I smile with contentment

yes, I had rather be dead.

Stop trying to fix me. Death will do that for you.
