Eternal Slumber

I'm crawling on my knees,

why won't the pain subside?

You follow screaming curses

and kick me to the side.

What have I done this time? 

I struggle to rememeber.

Pain blooms across my eye,

soon followed with a crack like thunder.

The blissful blackness is working now,

to try and pull me under...

I long to embrace its sweet, quiet kiss,

but I don't wish for my life to end like this.

So, quietly, I lay upon the floor;

hearing your footsteps echo toward the door.

Blissful quiet invades this empty space...

At least, now, I can slip

quietly into eternal rest.
