When My Hearts Stops It's Beating At Last Poem by Noah Body

I sit and watch and I wait
For it to stop before it's too late

It's back and seems it's here to stay
No matter what I do it won't go away

It draws me down into that dark hole
It's my life and dreams that it stole

Pervasive darkness is all around
Not a spark of light to be found

The chill black that of the grave
Me no one will never, ever save

The hole is so deep I can't climb out
And no one can hear me when I shout

There is no bottom and so I free fall
The walls echoing with my sharp call

Help me please is my pointed plea
It tears the heart right out of me

There's no one to hear, no one to listen
As hot, burning tears on my cheeks glisten

It's light at last from the fires of hell
A welcome sight though my soul I will sell

A welcome reprieve is hell's searing heat
It seers my soul and stops my heart beat

And when my heart stops it's beating at last
I will have found peace, surcease at the last
