Stop my ticked-out clock,
Halt my salt-dampened sands,
Untie these too-tight ropes,
That bind my always-trembling hands.
Fate struck first,
With it's leveling blow,
Now I strike back,
The last way I know.
Life has me by the aching heart,
Trying to make me stay and see.
But now its time, I end at last,
This broken soul...this terminal me.
