Mar 2014
In the end my death
will not come sailing on the wings of my own pain
But on the eternal burning misery
of a friends

Their tears
shed as my own
Their broken hearts
become my tattered home

Their misery
seeps into me
Pain engulfing,
swallowing me into it's unforgiving sea

But God forgive me
When this pain just becomes to much in the end
I have crawled on these broken bones
But I cannot pretend

That I wish the current
Would just pull me in
And take this
Life of mine

Because these tears
This pain
Our souls
Are intertwined
