Her Last Good Bye

By: Stephanie Janee` Ely

She knelt beside her bed to pray...
"Lord, if I do not die before I wake"
"I will have to suffer through another day"
"So, I beg you Lord, my soul to take"...

"Why do I go through such torture each day?"...
"I believe I am loved by not a soul"...
"Why am I always cast away?"...
"Nothing could ever make me whole"...

Every morning she drops to her knees to cry...
Not wanting to face the light of day...
She says to herself "why am I here, why... oh why?...
"Why can't I just be taken away?"...

"Why does the bright sun have to blind me?"...
"I have never been able to enjoy a beautiful day"...
"I don't even know how my life is supposed to be"...
"No one has ever shown me the way"...

"I have never looked out my window
to see the stars shine in the sky"...
"Or watch the flowers bloom"...
"Sometimes I lay in my bed at night and cry"...
"Knowing that tomorrow will just be the same,
with nothing left to assume"...

"I don't know what it feels like to smile"...
"Or for my heart to beat with glee"...
"Never felt happiness, not even for a while"...
"What is wrong with me?"...

"I have asked to many times "Please Lord, let me die"...
"Couldn't you have just taken me away?"...
"Lord, don't you understand, I no longer want to cry?"...
"Lord, I no longer want to dread the day"...

"Lord, this will be the last time"...
"But, this time I will lay me down to die"...
"Please forgive me for this crime"...
"Lord, I wish you could understand... I no longer want to cry"...

"Lord, thank you for always being there"...
"For you this is the last time I will cry"...
"I hope you do know, I will always care"...
"And this is my last goodbye"...
