If I am to die

I am tired of these city scapes
They echo with failure and distress
If I was to die tomorrow 
Let me die somewhere pretty 

The city has lost its touch of summer 
The winters wear me down to the bone 
If tomorrow was to come
Let me die somewhere pretty 

The silence stretches over the minutes 
Our conversations now lack honesty 
If you were to kill me tomorrow 
Let me die somewhere pretty 

If my thoughts reach out to you now
As we struggle to find time
If I was to see my last sunset
Let me die somewhere pretty

Happiness has lost its glamour 
The smiles slide of our faces 
If our relationship is to end now
Let it die somewhere pretty 

Inner child

Oh my friend, my familiar friend I've picked up this pen to write  Too many thoughts of you  Too many anger-filled words Too many sorrow...
