In the End

Sky's dark and ground soft, dig me my shallow grave and let the rest of the world swallow me whole I have no destiny here.

I have run out of places to hide and  prayers to send to the heavens, everything I send always comes back in my sealed envelope noted "return to sender."

Short breathes, slow tears and hidden pain but I have to bare the strength of one million men, no one wants to hear your sorrows "I have problems of my own!"

Like nails on a chalkboard my grated nerves have come to an unbearable pitch and all I can do is stand holding the chalk with my hands to my ears avoiding the truth.

So dig me my shallow grave and let the world swallow me whole, I was only meant to be here for a time, to love and be loved but now that time is up.

Loves don't beat on the ground looking for me because I will already be long gone and your tears wont be enough to soften the ground for mercy and your cries wont be enough to convince the world it made a mistake.

Rejoice for me loves, maybe now I will know why the heavens never opened my prayers and when I learn surely you will know as well, just remember I was only meant to be here for a time and that time has ended.

I will mourn my loses just as you will mourn the lose of me but faith that God noticed the girl who lost her way and cried out for forgiveness will make everything ok.

Dig me my shallow grave and let the world swallow me whole, I was here for a time and loved you all well and that love was given from life into eternity.
