I'm falling asleep,
My body is getting colder,
My hearts searching for just one last beat.
I've been shot down to the core all that's on my mind is defeat.
Wondered where I went wrong,
Cuz I know it didn't just happen coincidentally.
This was meant to be.
Collecting rocks when I was three,
Now I have put pressure where I was shot this is the end of me.
I let go one bloody painful scream,
And my whole body went into a state of peace.
She came to me and picked me up and took me to my casket where I would fall asleep,
Then she closed my eyes and said 'shh... I will always love you Anthony.'

I Miss You, Angel
Tragedy rests on the wind. Carried on cold breath. You're falling into my arms. Mere moments before kissing death. Unspoken, shallow words. Rest lightly on pale lips. Soundlessly falling to the floor.

It's so wrong, seeing him there. Laying in a bed that isn't his. Breathing air that isn't his. Surrounded by walls that aren't his. Walls of death. Why do they paint the walls in this color.
