Stop

I hide beneath the covers,
As acid tears soak my skin.
Burning every inch of life,
Demanding payment for my sin.

As they burn at my weaknesses,
I hate myself more than ever.
My life has lost all meaning,
Friends, family, love, gone forever.

This emptiness that rots in me,
Is spreading such a stench.
Everybody moves away,
As I sit alone in this deep trench.

My self loath is shutting me off,
Keeping you so far away.
But I need you more than ever,
I need you here today.

Like the cloud that engulfs my soul,
And that shadows my weak heart,
I am left without warmth,
As I so slowly fall apart.

End this pain now,
I beg of you, let me go.
If only you could see this wreck,
Than surely you would know. . .
