Wish

Wish
awakened - this dying season
such a beauty to behold
oh autumn hath arrived
a tragedy painted dead
fallen am i without thee i am lost
in a region of doleful shades
i am withering away

i dwell in the shadows of life
a dismal state of mind - i'm in pain
oh sun i hate thy beams
leave me here to sleep and dream
in the midst of falling leaves
in a garden of endless grief
i yearn for thee my precious one
beneath a pale grey sky
i dream of your embrace
how i wish i had you near
in this oh so dolorous life
where dreams turn to dust
i have lost all my hope
of lasting pain and unpresent bliss
this soul of mine
i welcome thee eternal sleep
silent advent of white death
i feel so cold
crystallized tears falling still
oh autumn hath died
enshrouded am i
in thy mist of endless gloom
enthralled am i by thy beauty
how i wish, how i wish
in the midst of falling snow
in a garden of endless grief
my forlorn soul of misery
where peace and rest can never dwell
hope never comes
i see no point in going on
still i dream but now i know i dream a lie
so i close my eyes and i sigh
a life of shattered dreams i can no longer bear
i enter thee eternal sleep
