Asleep (Seven Weeks)

by Michael Rowzee - Not entered

The seventh week has come and gone;  
since those words I heard, "Goodbye".  
Eyes's turned upward, prayers to Heaven;  
they say, "Please, just let me die".  
Let me sleep,  
let my wearied head rest.  
Let my eyes never open,  
to the dawning out west.  
I just want to sleep,  
a bottle of pills.  
Let this ache be deadened,  
this grief that refills.  
Let me fall into an unfeeling sleep.  
Pain never felt before.  
Endlessly asleep, I don't want to wake up 
on my own anymore.  
There must be something better,  
behind death's sleep this I know.  
Let me fall asleep forever,  
I really want to go.  
Oh please give me the courage,  
to knock on Heaven's door.  
Let me go, I don't want to wake 
on my own anymore.  

Reason for writing:

    Suicide.
