as dead as i could be...
By DarkestOnyx
It is here
Right in me
It'll take me away
It feeds on my fear
I shriek and cry
My heart pounds like my fists
Against what's imprisoned me
But I know I have to die
I huddle in my coat and my heart pounds loud
When, unexpectedly
I choke on the ashes and realize
Im wrapped in my shroud
And my beating heart you see
Ceased to pound
And then I realized
I was about as dead as I could be
I didn't get to say goodbye
I didn't see it coming
I went to bed but
I didn't expect to die
Will you save me or damn me
pick me up leave me downFix what you knowOr ignore what you see?
I awaken in my shallow grave
curled in dark oak coffin
with blood on my face
i start to rave
my beating heart you see
has ceased to pound
and now i realize
im about as dead as i could be
