Morning After(I Won'T Wake) Poem by Guarded Heart

While you were there standing, ranting, and raving
You brought back the memories
I thought i had buried
I remembered how much you scared me
Just how terrified i used to be
It's only because you have sympathy
That you hesitated to beat me

I see a light at the end of my tunnel
It's closer than i thought it would be
You forgot to lie and tell me that you love me
Now its only the light i see, coming closer to me
I bet you never thought i'd do this to me
Try and wake me on the morning after
But i won't stir
I've traded one hell for the other

You still terrify me
I'm just as scared as i used to be
But only i know what tomorrow brings
Sweet relief and an end to this misery
I don't want the ones i love to find me
Tell them i'm still watching, i want them to be happy
Because i won't wake on the morning after your storm
I have surrendered, death can't come faster

You will wake the morning after
You will be the one to find me
You can comfort her as she screams
You can tell him what you did to me
You can take care of my loved ones for me
