I just want to leave in Poetry

Death slowly creeps
Inside my eyes
Revealing the delusion
And the 3D lie
I watch myself
Slowly die
My veins bleed
As something enters and overtakes
Everything I used to be

I give my life to you
Manage it better
Then what I could
You can have
The words I write
While I listen
To the echo of my voice
Replay
As I went astray

I’ve become nothing
Just a shadow you ignore
Whispering to a world
Caged in terror
My voice is the wind
I’m the whisper within

Can you hear
The angels
Sing “My Song of Death”
They always seem to watch
And never care about
The cross I bear
My prayers were just words
Without a direction or destination
God should not have been my fascination

I cannot remember
Who I am
I’m all alone
And everyone I know
Dies in the end
My life is a lie
Folded and wrapped
With words and verses
And I’ve come to realize that
Death is a parasite
Living off the sands of time

You can have my life
The flavor is dry
In the end
I’ll be the victim of suicide
Fake or real
My perception is clear
Prescribed to this fate
All I want to do is escape
And sedate
The pain is just too great
