nothing
Destroy my life,
Take away my pain,
for in this life i have
nothing to gain.
nothing to hope for
nothing to see
no reason to stand
under the old oak tree
no reason to dream
of summers to come,
of places to visit,
of light of the
sun
destroy my life
take away my pain
cleanse my soul
make me whole
again.
take away my sadness
take away my need.
Take away my
sickness
take away my greed.
destroy my life,
take away my pain.
Bury me now
you won't be to blame.
For, I'm already dead,
As dead as can be.
Like the poor dear lying
Beneath the old oak
tree. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 211 [topic] => 13 [informant] => silenceinthestorm [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

is that a picture of you? if it is you're very pretty. but all those things you said about yourself...well, everyone is like that one time or another, so I feel that you shouldn't have to die. however, i really liked the ending about the old oak tree. very unique!
