Darling don't you fall asleep

Darling don't you fall asleep  
Kill me with your crushed eyes beforehand  
I don't want to be there with only a shell  
Of all this shrouded life, turned limp and loose  
Like the straw rope in my minds eye.  
 
The secrets you steal away,
are so cryptic in their compassion  
In the hunger for the shock of the righteous  
Be careful, it has started to consume you  
The threads of sanity holding
you together are thinning  
Fraying with the tension of
well-hidden sadistic truths  
 
I drift mindlessly through
this consciousness  
Retching up despair,
gripping your hand as my anchor  
The only thing keeping me from escape  
Listening avidly for your stuttered gasps  
My whole being relying
on you to live for both of us  
 
I sing the lullaby's of fallen angels  
As you slip away from me  
I reach for the end as it finds me  
Snapping like a frayed thread  
Darling now we can sleep forever.
