Give Me Peace

Speak not of things that numb my senses,
Those bring an endless pain,
Say not stories that break the heart
Lest sadness hit me again.

All I want is to forget the pain
And all that happened in the past;
Yet my memories haunt me still
Will this all forever last?

Why has the smile faded from lips?
Why is my laughter gone?
I've no hope nor will,
Nor the courage to carry on.

Say to me the words that soothe,
The stories that thrill and melodies that please,
Let there be none of all those pains
And let my heart live in peace.
