Death's Reprieve

Tormented by pain

And emotions abundant

The sun, its light beams

Burning my eyes, Life

But a slice from the razor

And stab from the dagger

To the wrist or the heart

Neither matter

A taste of death

And the ecstasy

From the shadows bring relief

With cold flesh no longer bleeding

Peace comes with it

Save me from the pain

The searing light

Life brings

A blade through my ribs

My final reprieve

But too bad it's nothing more

Then a hopeful dream

Peace, please to end the pain

No, the end can't come that way

I'll have to remain

Or be sent to live all over again
