your presence burns me

catefrances

drown the witches
burn the liars
lay your sweet body on my funeral pyre
watch me kill what's in my head
one smooth deliberate mark is all i'll need
i'll watch in bliss as my life departs
as the veins inside get turned to dust
will you stand beside me me and say your prayers
be so kind as to hold my hand
feel the coldness as it creeps
and drives away all the thoughts i keep
deep inside too deep to find
you thought you could have me?
i'll take what's mine
you took too long
and you know i can't wait
i would have given it all
if you'd given me cause
but you can see now can't you
that it's much too late

Never to late is it? To have the thought means there is still time.

true. only with death does it become too late.

Only the dead knows what death brings, maybe death is not too late only a matter of waiting til others catch up. Who knows, only a thought. Great read by the way Cate.

I'm not committed to any belief, to many things in my past in which I believed in just let me down. I don't know if there is anything after death, but got to admit its a nice thought. Sometimes I wonder if an after life is just a hope to justify suffering in this life. I also think its used as a threat to keep most people in check. Maybe its an exsistance were the have and the have nots find an equal playing field. I don't know the answers, thats for sure. I hope a least for me, that maybe there is something more than this life. Sometimes I feel I'm ready to leave this life behind but only because it seems that it has left me behind.

i have this feeling often. i ache to be rid of this life and yet at the same time i hope for to get something from it. so i stay and on occasion find myself going places that scare me. but i use those times and for now, that is what is holding me here.
