i pray for the end

oh swift and coming end.
oh sweet and swift and coming end.
i pray for you nightly.
i pray for release.
i am a coward, and i want to easy way out.
Lord, come and take these bones,
or just take over my mind...
because i don't want to think any longer,
and i'm so sick of feeling.
this feminine part of me, that is so prominent.
i want to tear it from my side.
it already seems to have taken on a life of its own.
i don't share in this anymore.
i want to wave goodbye to emotion,
because it is too much for me
and i feel
overwhelmed.

don't worry.
i'm not speaking of suicide.
just so you know.
