Elysium

As I lay down and rest,

As I close my eyes,

I know that I shall not wake.

I shiver and cry and tear up the sheets,

But I know that it is no use.

I am tortured and haunted and without relief,

But I cannot fix what has been done.

I am cold and weak and unable to move,

But I can still see that image of you.

I miss you, I need you, you are my light,

My light that takes me away from the dark.

But now you are gone, beyond recall or necessity,

I cannot find you, not even now.

So as I am writing my last words to you,

Though you may never read them,

I hope I've been kind and faithful and true,

Even though it may be beyond hope.

I wish you could see me in my dying hour,

Oh, believe me I am dying,

I don't think anyone can save me.

I took the pills that promised me peace,

So I did it and now I lay here.

When you find me, look upon my face,

And the tears that you caused,

But never mind that now,

I……………….I………………..I am lost without you,

I love you.
