A Leave of Absence

From The Chronicles of Death

A Leave of Absence

Sorrow filled memories lost in time
Standing by the restless waters' edge,
Pondering why I was ever born
What is the reason for my being?

A question of unkind existence undefined
Dreams of a dreamer dredged up,
Rhythmic waves lap at the tips of my shoes.
A featureless face stares back in reflection

Stone cold emotion fills the final day,
Reality melts like the snow and fades.
Loneliness fills an empty vacant heart.
Cruel are the wounds of life that never heal.

Darkened moods of the mehlancholy night,
Love fell short of it's archers' mark.
No more will I need look at life again,
For I see the absolute end in sight.

Heaven and Hell both seem equal now.
I've grown tired of my hollow empty shell.
No more shall I ponder questions' unanswered.
A leave of absence from life is my request.
