A poem I wrote 12 years ago about death.

[x~Sophia~x]

I wrote this poem in 2008. I've felt suicidal for many, many years. This is a really dark one, I must've been in a real bad place.

Cross My Heart

Cross my heart, I hope to die
'neath darkened clouds and blackened sky,
with ravens rasping loud, my name
and demons squealing, pointing blame.

Cross my heart with burning pyre,
Angels, don't dampen the fire
with wasted tears and words of grief,
let it flare, render relief.

Cross my heart and let me dwell
amongst those ugly souls in hell.
