I'm awaiting death.

Waiting for my final breath.

Pain in my chest.

I need to be put to rest.

I don't always look the part,

Because I need a heart.

I hate being so cold.

Colder than the stories I've told.

The lies I spread,

They fill me up with dread.

The fortress protecting me from madness

Was destroyed by sadness.

Now I wait in bed, drifting off to sleep

Hoping I won't wake and sink to the deep
