Promise of Peace

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 5 months ago 1 min read

[Verse]

Two spirits linger in the shadowed room

A jar of pills whispers sweet perfume

A bottle of wine sings a siren's call

Both waiting to catch me as I start to fall

[Chorus]

They promise peace where the chaos won’t grow

A quiet release from the ache I know

So I let them in

Let them take control

Sliding softly into the void’s cold hold

[Verse 2]

Their voices hum like a ghostly breeze

A soothing hymn meant to set me free

They bind my heart in their velvet chain

Saying they'll cradle me away from pain

[Chorus]

They promise peace where the chaos won’t grow

A quiet release from the ache I know

So I let them in

Let them take control

Sliding softly into the void’s cold hold

[Bridge]

The womb of nothingness pulls me tight

A hollow embrace in the endless night

But as I dissolve

Their faces fade

And I wonder if I’ve been betrayed

[Chorus]

They promised peace where the chaos won’t grow

A quiet release from the ache I know

But now I drift in the dark unknown

Two spirits left me here

All alone
