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
