Let me sleep in peace

Here on Earth

I’m forever gone

leaving my home

Life has shown me flames

and sharp like blades 

cutting every part of me

and left me bleeding

Life led me into the grave

Oh I wish I was brave

But death crave for me

I hope my pains

Will be eased

I hope memories that

haunted me at night

Will also be erased

I’m now ready

To start over

I know I will find a closure

Not everything was 

a pleasure
