The Mortal

am i supposed to die with my heart in my hands was i ever truly free is this how it was meant to be am i just holding on or just holding off this life's become too much why fight it anymore i am not beyond the tears that are ripping at my heart i am not beyond the pain that tears my soul apart i have lost all hope the only joy i feel comes from tightening this rope and knowing the end is near misery fuels the fire which leaves my charred remains all of my life has been spent in vain i thought i was strong now i know i was wrong i try to pretend putting off the end at the final turn i see how life was meant to be with no regrets i tie the knot and with death i am apart.
