Take away

Take away my emptiness
this tarnished, tired soul,
free me from this world
which has never seen me whole,

take away these memories
that haunt me every night,
open up my eyes
so I can finally see the light,

take away the heartache
that I carry everyday,
wipe away the tears
that always seem to stay,

take away the longing
that dwells inside my heart,
free me from the pain
that has been there from the start,

take away this broken heart
let me fade in the breeze,
take away this tarnished soul
so I can finally leave.
