Singing

“In the dark I shall not go,

No, can’t you hear me screaming?

Clinging to the light so,

Singing of my hurt and pain.

Life is draining from my veins,

Sitting here all alone.”

“In the dark I fade to black,

How have I come here?

I feel light fading from my grasp.

Close my eyes and end it all.

Lamenting of life lost,

I close my eyes and end this dream.

“Singing of happy, merry things.

Singing of whence I came,

All are memories!

Fading in the dark,

No longer I take part.”

“Memories, from a dream,

I close my eyes,

And I am Free.

No longer bound by iron chain,

No love, no strife, no war, no peace.”
