Empty

Please kill me before I wake
my soul waits in a cold numb tortured fear
waiting for your call
I said I would never fall

But I did, with open arms
into yours so warm and wanting
I was Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White
awakenend by your kiss
Where did I miss?

Please be done with it
plunge the knife and make it deep
so I can not breathe, cannot cry, cannot feel
tear my heart out and make it quick
hope is just a trick

Rescued by my tall dark knight
body , mind and soul were yours
now I'm left an empty orb
wandering time and space, taking up room
bring me back to the womb
kill me before I wake

Interesting poem. I think a line or two could use some revision though "my soul waits in a cold numb tortured fear", could be seen as, 'my soul waits in tortured, cold fear' and,
"I was Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White" could be shortened to read:
'I was the fairy princess'
