"Lingering"

I linger in the doorway

Between life an death

I can hear you calling

Calling for me to stay

But i also hear death

Telling me "the pain will be gone"

But what price must I pay

If I choose life then I choose pain

But if I choose death, I choose

Eternal darkness

Are these only

Small prices to pay?

Or do they decide my fate?

Is it my destiny to choose?

Or am I bound to linger here?

Bound to hold onto nothing

Bound to always suffer

How can such a choice

Be laid on someone so young?

Why must I choose now?

I still have my whole life ahead of me

But if I choose death then,

I escape all the pain in

The life ahead of me

But I will also choose eternal darkness

I may not be dead yet

But I know now

That lingering here

Is the REAL hell
