NO GOODBYES

Do not try to stop me
For know, I shall not pause
Do not think to sooth my wounds
Or patch them up with gauze
Do not try to comfort me
Or still me with kind words
No slowing down for friendly chat
It is far too late for that
No
Do not try to stop me
This pain is far too great
It's weight is much to heavy
To set down at your gate
But why, oh why so worried
Good friends one and all
You 
Who watched me struggle, sink
And 
Drown
Beneath the squall
Such lifelines thrown down
Far too late
Shall not be heeded
Shall not cheat fate
So
 Do not try to stop me
I owe you not at all
Iv no need of your damaged net
To halt my thundering fall
So turn your back again to me
And leave me now to flee
Iv no need of your broken love
I am already free.
