Can I go now?

I am ready to go. 
To close my eyes and rest. 
To lay my heart down in peace. 
To help my body find its comfort, 
Its soul, its home.  

every inch not caring 
not restless for what it never receives 
and a final smile upon my lips 
my heart oblivious that it grieves 


Yes. This could be bliss 
A release of the sweetest sort 
A final sigh to soothe me to sleep 
and a warmth to caress my face 

Ah yes. deep breath. finally. 
no one need attempt to save 
what i have given up so long ago 
a heart that endlessly just wants to pray
please, oh please, can I now go?
