Sleep Now
By: Malachi Prophit
visions of a future that
was suppose to be now
nightmares consume
my inner child
begging for nothing more
than you forgiveness
with every slash
comes eternal bliss
the pain pulsates
radiating fear
knowing that the reaper
draws ever near
the temptations come
from every angle
causing emotions and
thoughts to mangle
a million different
ways just to say
i don't want to suffer
not another day
pray this reaches him
before its too late
inhale every drop of
powder from the plate
toxic poisons rushing
through my brain
turning my eyes to ash
after the flame
sleep now my inner child
in sweet serenity
sleep now my only friend
in sure eternity
two cuts up
three cuts across
show the world
who is the boss
watch it trickle
down finger tips
utter a silent prayer
from tear stained lips
sorrowful heart will
cry not for you
death has called your name
nothing left to do
lie down in a pool
of crimson blood
witnessing the cascading
horror flood
flashes of light
flicker in front your eyes
all thats left for
you is to die
close your eyes
and relax your mind
for now is
your time
sleep now my inner child
in sweet serenity
sleep now my only friend
in sure eternity
one shot in the dark
to end the silence
on pull to stop
all the violence
failure is you
middle name
dead or alive
you are still the same
staring at the face
locked inside the mirror
how did he become
the killer
eyes black deep
and far away
nowhere left in life
for him to stay
torment from the
voices in his head
laying alone at night
in his bed
pass on to others
all worldly belongings
now for the cold steel
he is longing
a note left for
no one to read
a failure in life
even if he succeeds
a prayer of forgiveness
escapes him
and reaching for solitude
the lights he dims
if they only knew
how he truly felt
maybe he could get
the much needed help
but instead he held
it all inside
and now has come
his time to die
sleep now my inner child
in sweet serenity
sleep now my only friend
in sure eternity
13 loops for the
unlucky one
going down the chute
at first site of the sun
the hangman's noose
designed to kill
now being used for
his twisted will
people think the hardest part
is taking your life
truth is its knowing
that you were never alive
there is no one to
say goodbye to here
no way to show them
how much you care
simple to just
tie that rope
when there isn't a
single ray of hope
so step up on that
block of disgust
and it out
to get the rush
suffocate on your life
as you slip down
cause you will not be remembered
you were not a clown
sleep now my inner child
in sweet serenity
sleep now my only friend
in sure eternity
cartoons and ice cream
diapers and bottles
thoughts goals and images
rage full throttle
a love that devours
my every cell
will be there come
heaven or hell
she is mine and
that is more than reason
to sustain my life
for every season
to hold her will
be amazing i know
all the things to her
i want to show
i want her here
with only me
thinking of it makes
it hard to breathe
at night to hold
that angel in my arms
to protect her
from all the worlds harm
to drift away
to the land of dreams
whispering i love you
to ease her screams
sleep now my inner child
in sweet serenity
sleep now my only friend
in sure eternity
