Final Breath

by Strange Angel   Oct 11, 2005


Skin as cold as ice
They said I mightn't survive
But I'm here right now
I must be alive

A heavy hand finds
Blood caked through my hair
I start to have my doubts
My soul's as thin as air

My body lies immobilised
I can only scream inside
The pain and the torment
Paralysis must hide

My family cannot see what happened
And how much I broke inside
My friends must never find out
How much I secretly cried

It wasn't meant to end like this
There's so much I must change
I wish that I could live my life
And find true love's not strange

I had so much in front of me
I had my life to live
I want to start a family
I have so much to give

But I made just one mistake
And then I lost my choice
There was a time I died inside
And someone stole my voice

For now I lie beneath the lights
And see beloved ones cry
I have so much to say to them
But instead they watch me die

I try to scream, I try to shout
I know that I must tell
These doctors need to know right now
I'm headed straight for hell

Being punished for those times of hurt
Those times I couldn't cope
There is no place in heaven left
Because I lost my hope

And as I feel them close my eyes
And state the time of death
I try to breathe I'm sorry
But it's with my final breath.
