Realization

I close my eyes,

Not soon to wake,

Hearing the silence,

Trying to cure the ache.


My heart is heavy,

Not sure to heal,

I close my eyes,

Love how this feels.


I drift away,

I begin to dream,

Of a better place,

Oh, so it seems.


Seeing the darkness—

it's my favourite place,

I'm not too sure,

When this night breaks.


I don't seem to breathe,

I cannot say that too often,

As I lay flat,

Inside my coffin.
