Free My Soul ~ Gideon Roos

A poem of heartbreak, giving up hope, and longing for the relief that death may bring.

Oh night, oh stars.

Do grant me a respite

From this day.

 

Oh wind, oh breeze.

Do blow from my cheeks the

Tears that flow.

 

Oh sun, oh heat.

To dust burn this sadness

In my heart.

 

Oh sleep, oh slumb’r.

Do give me relief from

Consciousness.

 

Take me to the

Depths of non-existence,

Break me free.

 

Destroy the chains

That bind my heart to this

Tired old world.

 

Oh death, oh death.

I beg of you, be kind

And free my

 

soul.
