Dying Soul
By Michael James Mead
What should I say to you?
I'd die if you never knew.
I don't know what I want to say.
You wouldn't want me anyway.

Help. Can anybody hear me? I am gone.
Stop. I can't take these feelings. I am numb.
Help. Can you hear me? I need you.
Stop. I can't break the pain that runs me through.
Bleed. I can't stop myself from giving in.
Break. I can't stop the fear I feel in me.
Die. I can't keep a hold of anything.
Die. I feel my soul dying.

What should I say to you?
I don't know what I'm going through.
If I could take my life away.
Maybe I could say what I mean to say.

Help. Can anybody hear me? I am gone.
Stop. I can't take these feelings. I am numb.
Help. Can you hear me? I need you.
Stop. I can't break the pain that runs me through.
Bleed. I won't let myself give in.
Break. I kill all the pain I'm living in.
Die. I can feel the end calling for me.
Die. I can feel my soul dying.

Look. If I could only see you.
Dream. If I could only think of you.
Speak. If I could only tell you.
Touch. If I only had you.
Bleed. I can't take this.
Break. I can't take this.
Die. I can't save myself.
Die. I'm broken.
