Lake People

[lakeepeople]

I don’t think I was ever really looking for love,

Just a place to put all the love i have to give.

[lakeepeople]

My end is near, I can feel death circling around me at every moment.

I no longer desire to be touched

To be held

To be understood

I wish for silence

Utter and complete silence

For then only I have to understand me.

The weight of the burden I am has proved far too heavy to hold, so I sit patiently waiting for death to collect me.

Take me home.
