Taketh Me Away

I used to feel so warm next to you,
As I await my peaceful sleep to come.
I would lay my head on your chest,
Cause I knew that’s where your love came from.
I’d tell you I love you,
I’d pull you closer to me…
Cause with you and only you,
Is where I wanted to be.
But then things started to change….
I began to feel strange….
My world began to rearrange.
Instead of being next to you, I began to pull away.
You’d ask me “what’s wrong?”
You’d ask me “are you okay?”
But all I did was pull away from you,
Because you don’t understand…
You’ll never understand.
I then started to think to myself…
Where does this all end?
I started thinking….
Where is your love for me,
the love you’d always send?
I then started thinking about my soul,
Because there is nothing left to live for.
I would then see the gates of Heaven,
And became eager to walk in and see more.
I would watch the world, through and through….
And want nothing more to do with it, or you.
So I closed my eyes,
I then began to pray….
Silently speaking five words….
“Lord, please take me away.”
