Tiredness seeps through every pore of me
One foot in front of the other, soul dragging me down
The river looks inviting I crave to be free
The water is deep and cold in the river that runs through this town.
The stars above in the black sky look down
I shiver standing here wondering will anyone miss me if I drown
Darkness washes over me and tears fill my eyes
Memories flood in as I whisper my goodbyes.
Free free at last the weight of the world has been lifted from me
Suddenly I am warm, light draped in silken stars, at last I am free.
No longer lost, burdened or scared I float through the stars
Free from tormentors, at rest, my skin no longer bears it’s scars.
