When will it all end?
Heart aching, hurting, imploding
Mind aching, hurting, exploding
Can’t do this
Please make it all end.
Will it be tomorrow?
day after day, sameness
Year after year, pain-ness
Can’t do this
Please make it all end.
Why not yesterday?
The pain and despair
The no chance of repair
Can’t do this
Please make it all end.
Does nobody even care?
Left to wither and die
Alone on my own
Can’t do this
Please make it all end.
When you were needed
Were you there?
Did you care?
Need a friend
Can’t do this
Please make it all end.
Why did you come for me?
Did you hear the voices?
Saying for it to end.
Did the voices send
You to save me
To heal me
To steal me
Can I do this?
Will it really end?
How did you do it?
You gave me hope
You gave me love
You made me cry
You made me smile
Not done that for a while.
I can do this
Please don’t make it end.
This is so raw. Seems like it just poured out of you – as a writer. Is it a song? I sung it after a first read. With some tweaks & a basic piano or guitar, it’s a painfully beautiful piece. You even have a bridge in there 🙂
Love the way you turn it around into a song of hope from the depths of despair. Got any more? -T
Bloody Brilliant poem. Can relate to this a lot as I have enduring chronic illnesses. It’s a roller coaster of emotions and feelings every day.
