Grave Digger (poems)

The Last

The Last:

I want this to be my last

A final day to remember

To have everything erased from my past

Watch the memories fade like an ember

The fire in my heart died long ago

And ever since then, I've been going numb

Waiting slowly for death, like a man on death row

Waiting for a day that will never come

So I'll speed up the clock on my own

I'll escape from each of the lives I've touched

I'll go reside in myself, completely alone

Releasing the hope I had once clutched

I never should have wandered so far

To find each of you in the dark

If I had left you... Things wouldn't be the way they are

My life wouldn't be so stark

But I promised to be there

I helped you however I could

Took the burdens that were too heavy to bare

Sometimes taking on more than my fair share

And in return...you abandoned me

I was left to carry this horrible load

Chained up by sadness, without a key

Attacked and beaten on a narrow road

I've bled myself dry

I'm broken

I will no longer help those who cry

I have nothing to give, its all been stolen

Now you will miss having me in your life

You will see the holes in your heart

I made you whole yet all you did was give me strife

This time, I'll let the emptiness tear you apart
