Quietus

Your soul was removed to make way for your pain
Insanity spreads like a plague in your brain
The darkness surrounds you until all you see
Is me creeping in as I answer your plea
Toying with your mind, saying, "I'm your release,
Just take your last breath and I'll put you at peace."
I know that you want me, I see in your eyes
You want my embrace, my cold grip like a vise...
Come lie with me here and inside you I'll dwell
For what can you lose? You're already in hell.
Yes, you deserve this, you've waited so long
I'll return to my haven and take you along
How much time have you waited for me to descend
Upon you as you're crying, "oh please make this end--"
I'll take you and wrap you up, quenching your lust
Your soul nonexistant, your body to dust
I'll see you eventually, whether now or in time
But why are you scared? Giving up is no crime.
Yet I watch your tears fall as despair takes control
The noose 'round your neck as fear's taking it's toll
Just step off the stool--just one step and it's done
A few moments of pain, and then there is none
Then I'll bear you away to sleep on by my side
In my grasp you'll give up both sadness and pride
...Doesn't that sound enticing? And yet you hold on
Pull away from my touch, cling to life and press on
But you cannot lie, I've heard each time you've cried
I'm lingering close, yet each time I'm denied
Don't deny me, I know you crave my caress
Though you may spite me now, you'll be mine nontheless...
