IT

♠ "IT" ♠

Waiting, is what's been killing me,

Knowing the inevitable . . . is at hand.

No sleep, again.

No sleep, again.

♠

Seems, like, an awful lot to do,

 just to prepare.

For "it".

♠

For "It" is coming now.

For a long time now . . .

 "It" has been coming.

Coming.

♠

Roll another and wait.

♠

Synthetic sleep should arrive soon,

leaving me with one less day.

♠

I imagine a purpose,

for "It".

♠

Time, is a long way,

 away,

What can I possibly say?

♠

Thanks for the trouble you took from my eyes, he sings.

Sincerely L.Cohen.

Next, the Sisters of Mercy.

I just can't go on.

Bringing me comfort and a song.

For I have been traveling for so long.

♠

My running is over,

the game is done.

Like a worm on a hook,

or the last page of a book.

♠

Grateful, I know the ending.

I will make it all up,

 in the end for me.

♠

Dreams are folly,

 sending rainbows to follow,

but, I know how

to stay awake.

♠

"It" can have me,

transform me,

remake me,

forsake me,

"It" won't forget me.

♠

Shake me, now.

Because when your done with "It".

I WILL BE DONE WITH YOU.
