Free me
October 15, 2014
"Freedom." I whispered in a laboured breath,
Free me from the chains of death
Free me from my daily pain
Free me from this hateful bane.
Love, I thought with tearful eyes
Love me where my body lies
Love me through my numbered days
Love me in the usual ways.
Peace, I prayed through sweat and tears
Find peace because I made it all these years
Find peace when I shut my eyes
Find peace when my body dies.
"Freedom." I whispered in a laboured breath,
Free me from the chains of death.
