Here, Now, Then
I lay here,
not thinking,
about anything,
just silence,
stillness,
Quiet.
It's all gotten to me,
I just can't take it,
Not anymore.
My mind's now black,
Just as my heart,
Did go years ago,
I bleed,
I cry,
I regret,
All silently.
A cool breeze,
A white light,
Eternal darkness.
Now my body,
Is lifted in tender arms,
I feel it,
Yet I can't see it,
My eyes are shut,
not to block light,
Just shut,
Like I'm sleeping,
But I'm not,
I'm not even breating,
Yet I still feel,
I still hear,
Everything around me.
A memory flashes,
A memory of good times,
When I was little,
Just a kid,
I laughed,
Oh so easily,
Had no worries,
None at all,
I want to go back,
Back to the happy,
Joyful place,
My childhood,
Start over,
Turn a new leaf,
Begin again,
Reincarnated,
Born anew.
But the voices,
Oh those wretched voices!
They're ripping me away,
Away from my paradise,
Bringing me concious.
Eyes flutter,
A bright light,
A plasticly smell,
A hospital?
No! I'm dead!
Eyes close tight,
I don't want to live,
I want to leave here,
I slip away from everything,
Everything is dark.
