Not This Time

Lay still, fast asleep

Faint cries turn to weeps

Dangling on a tight rope

Prayers asking for hope 

Ancestors lost the fight 

Didn't awake from what was supposed to be a nap

No matter how many "It'll be alright"s 

I know what happens after that

I was drained 

Yet it still pained 

The world suddenly blurred 

My breath could no longer be heard 

Fought to keep my eyes open 

Fought to keep my heart beating 

Dying to go home 

But Heaven decided to start seeking 

Not this time however 

I'll fight till days turn to forevers 

Keep beating ill sick heart 

Just hold on, its not time to part.
