Sweet Serenades

Sweet serenades she calls.
You'll be happier dead.
The sweet music she lawls.
Don't you hate the life you've led?

She calls my name.
To heed the silence.
I scream out in pain.
Only settled with violence.

A war against myself.
That will end with dismay.
The depression she won.
But I was gone either way.

Living like a zombie.
Or dying like a fool.
Only wanting to be free.
My life was so dull.
