One Word
One word:
One word and I fell,
One word and I bled,
One word and I screamed,
One word and I'm dead.
One will:
The will to awake,
For I've slept for so long…
The will to progress
For I once was so strong…
One wish:
I wished then to sleep,
To sleep without dreams.
I wish now for peace!
I can't stand all the screams.
One tear:
One tear starts its move
From my eye to the floor.
One tear means the world
And means all I abhor.
One breath:
One breath means I'll live
One breath – set me free.
The poison still lingers
Though its trace none can see.
One memory:
One memory still holds
All the pain of that word.
I remember my scar!
Though the mem'ries are blurred.
One word:
Stay.
Only if you want me to.
Stay.
I won't forget you.
Stay.
Will you forget me?
Stay.
I crave sweet release.
Stay.
My soul may be free.
Stay.
I'll breathe only for you.
Stay.
If you help me forget…
One word.
*Ok, so "One Word" is kind of a misnomer. There are actually two words, and should you choose to review (please do!) try to guess what they are. I hope you enjoyed it!
