solace bottle
comfort pill
wash down the anger
wash down the pain
wash down the thoughts
until nothing remains
death is only a twist away
only a swallow from here
just a reach of my arm
and a lump in my throat
it could all be so easy
rid me of this curse
rid me of this life
sleep could be mine . . .
forever
i could die an easy death
i could leave this all behind
i could be gone in minutes
no more pain . . .
but i can't stand the thought
of the look on your face
when you find me lying here
next to this empty bottle
and i'm too stupid to do it anyway
i wish i could bottle up these tears
and sprinkle them over the sun
to create my own little rainbow
but the sky has been black for years
(no sun rises here)
but if you only knew
how easy it could really be
for me to end it all . . .
you would be crying too
so easy
too easy
