SweetDeath
Music plays in my heart
Songs of love and hate
And of joy and sorrow
Hurt always comes from fate
A tear rolls down my cheek
My heart breaks in two
I can't see a thing
The world before me turns blue
I place a small vial to my lips
I can smell the sweet drink inside
I breathe deep. In and out
I can't back out. Music, step aside
The vial drains inside me
My body begins to slow
I must end my life here
Hell is where I must go
