Let Me Go

Let me die. I cry.
Stop the pain, throbbing again.
Free me from this land of sorrows.
For all my to-morrows.
Fill the empty gap inside.
I need you, for to hide.
From all the arrows that come my way.
Loneliness is here to stay.
God help me bear the woe.
Let me go.

The next blow.
Is worse than you can know.
It does get a bit too much.
To live and suffer such.
Agony and despair.
That grips you and cuts off the air.
That twists the body and the mind.
Sleep and rest, you cannot find.
Free me from this tale of woe.
Let me go.

Why must I live alone.
In my lonely home.
My friends are dead.
Long gone, no new ones instead.
Wife and family gone away.
I'm left here to stay.
I think of all the good times.
I had before.
They closed the door.
Let me go.
