If there's forever, its not for me,
rather be chained in deepest seas,
I wish to fade out when my eyes close
as I'm battered & the blood flows.

If I was drowning in happiness
I wouldn't write with such sadness
but humanity has left me so cold
as the years progress & I grow old

If I could find that internal peace
I wouldn't rage a dog off its leash
the demons never stop whispering
and I feel myself now silently fading.

Echoes of laughter fill my mind
I wish I had the ability to rewind
Use a special wand of a remote
A spoon full of sugar's antidote.
