My Defeated Death

cheinz27's picture

Clear my head of thoughts of you.
What part of no can't get through?
I try to escape to my mystical land
but instead of relief all I can feel is your hand,
and pain rushing through and breaking down my soul.
It ruins my ambition to reach my goals.
So now here we are.
You overshawdowing me and me lying on the floor.
Now all I ask is for one last breath
before I give in to my defeated death.
