I'm Slipping Backwards

by Gem   Mar 6, 2004


I'm slipping backwards,
To a place I've been before,
I'm trying to get out,
But some ones locked the door.

Slashing at my skin,
Floods of tears I cry,
Oh, god please,
Just let me die.

I'm crying out in pain,
I've been crying out for years,
Have you not heard my screams?
Have you not seen my tears?

I've been like this for so long,
Why haven't you seen?
Can you not tell,
That I'm the worst I've ever been?

I only want to die,
It's not too much to ask,
It wouldn't take long,
It's not a hard task.

You could kill me in a second,
I've done the hard work for you,
I'm nearly there now, god,
It wouldn't take much to do.

I'm dead inside, you see,
It's just my body that is not,
But we can soon put that right,
It won't take a lot.

I'm trapped here forever,
With no hope of being set free,
It's best to do this now,
As it's only slowly killing me.

I don't want to go on living,
So now I go away,
Please don't worry,
You'll see me again, one day.

When I'm gone,
I want no tears to be cried,
After all,
I've only died.

I'm slipping backwards,
To a place I've been before,
Do I want to get out?
I'm not really sure.

It's all over for me,
And so I say goodbye,
I finally got what I wanted,
I finally got to die.
