My bedroom is empty
Pages are filled with ink
One side of the bed is cold
I haven't slept a wink
So I read my lonely lexis
To the facade inside my drink
Lay me down inside the ground and let me be
Got some money in my wallet
And some desires in my mind
A pocketful of fantasies
I know I'll never find
And it's snowin' like a winter
The cold chill seems so unkind
Lay me down inside the ground and let me be
Lay me down inside the ground and let me be
Callin' on a mighty wind to cover me
Lay me down inside the ground and let me be
Hades if you're ready come and paddle me
The encounter was my greatest fall
I met her with needs for love
She answered when I called
When all was over and done
I coulda' crumbled like a wall
So lay me down inside the ground and let me be
Lay me down inside the ground and let me be
Callin' on a mighty wind to cover me
Lay me down inside the ground and let me be
Hades if you're ready come and paddle me
Author notes
I relate to the feelings in the song "Lay Me Down" but not the words, so I rewrote with my own words and similar feeling.

Good job.. I think the first stanza is the best.. Feels like something I have felt before! Keep it up.. I'll look for more

I thought this was soooo cool. thanks

I thought it seemed like a song as I read it.
It's a good piece, it feels... mirky! It's depressing though. It's categorized under "personal" I noticed and I hope that things get better for you then. -
Very interesting piece. Definitely could hear it as a song even before I read the author's notes. I liked this piece. Keep writing and take care!
