DEMISE

There lies my demise

Yet I long to be there

WARNING : Smoking is injurious to health.

That abyss calls me with its open arms

And I long to be there

In her arms

In arms of my demise

She calls me with those cold eyes

I know I will never be able to get up again

I will never be able to see this world again

Yet I long to be there

In her arms

In arms of my demise

This world, as they call it;

With smiles and pains,

With cries and laughter,

Smiles and disdains;

I want to leave this world

To be in her arms

In arms of my demise.

It’s a sham; the happiness

It’s a sham; your smile

It isn’t real, it never was

It has always been a sugary bile

Atleast she promised me one thing

And she will keep her promise

Her promise to destroy me;

To burn me.

Atleast she is true;

Bitter but true.

And I know

There lies my demise

Yet I long to be there

In her arms

In arms of my demise.
