Put out the light

Put out the light...

My heart has gone to sleep

I give up the fight

Pain now forthwith too deep

What strains may come

When all hope & faith

Once strong now gone

Shall follow into death?

All else has failed

This is the final fall

All dreams long sailed

None I can no more recall

In darkness, I, sleepless, stay

in this room raped of all memories

From what seems a lifetime away

Once filled with desires only youth carries

Heart violated of all tenderness

Left to unquestionable blankness

Shaping the lines of drowning sadness
  Burying me under total hopelessness

I will be silent now...
Eyes closed, for this is the end  
Comes sleep, comes the countdown

Then let me...... let me die still unawakened
