Don't Dream About Me Anymore

withered skin drapes my bones

a tongue far too tired to taste

those bitter poisons of youth

sweet trappings of memory

will only contort into nightmare

unless you let me die

but you won't 

you keep trying to light a melted candle

just burning wax with no wick

darkness is here

whether you acknowledge it

or not

so stop

looking for the light

it's gone

lay down

count sheep

count your lucky star
if
you ever had one

count me out

come to terms

and go to sleep

and don't dream about me

anymore
