burning matches
and hot tar
stain my body
don't know
how deep
how far

nothing I do
seems to rid it
doing extreme damage
where's the cure
that can end this pain?

is it in
the tears too dry
to be shed?

is it in
forgetting my
scarred melodies?

where does the cure lie?
searching and searching
deep within
and yet I come out
empty handed

will I find ease
when death takes me away?

will I find ease
when angels watch me from my grave?

will I find ease
when my body finally decays?

I hope to find the cure
before my life is gone
giving me a chance to live
in the light
rather in the dark

my saving grace
the glow on my face
before my life is gone

Thank you so much for this opportunity to collaborate with you Humna20! I really like how this turned out and how quick we were able to write this. I'll be looking forward to this and many more!
