Call For The Dead

I called the name of the dead
For I cannot utter
The names of the living
Who drove me to hell

I cried for the dead
To take me with them
I know I'm lifeless now

I shouted for the shadows
That surround me
To eat me up

Why do they not want me
When Light has never been
Near my grasp

I drove my car to the cliff
And let my body fall
It was endless
It was deep
But death never came
It was just a temporary sleep

I drew slits in my wrist
It was painful
But the blood that flowed
Gave me hope
That I might finally
Stop to breathe
Oh that thought
delivered me bliss

My eyes opened
So in one last try
I hung myself
I was running out of air

But it wasn't the grim reaper
That came in
It was the living

They drove me to hell
It was walled white
While doctors and nurses
Holds syringes in their hands

Others were dressed like mine
They were shouting
Staring at the wall
Some were in slumber

I knew then the place
Everyone knew
But only I believed
That I am not insane

So I called the name of the dead
To take me with them
I cried for the sculptured saints
To hear my prayer
And to the shadows
To swallow me
Including my sorrows

But hear me
For I am not insane
I'd just rather die
Than live in this hell
