Death
Such sad sorrow you conjure
In the souls of attempted dreams
Lying awake, tracing moonlight
Reminder of an end to come
Reminisce a past well lived
Dreading a future foretold
Secure with closed eyes
Pulling the sheets up higher
I feel you crawl up my castle
Where I once felt safe
You attack me once more
And as rain begins to fall
My castle floods
Thoughts, more thoughts
Tears keep falling down
Believing and faith is hard
Not knowing, even harder
Stepping onto the cold, hard, floor
My castle is safe no more
I run away from you
But it seems you want me to understand
I keep running
I don’t want to know you
You’re everywhere
Haunting me like a nightmare
The more I understand you
The faster I run away
And as time flies by
You take precious lives away
Death, Oh Death!
Fine dagger of truth
As your edge sharpens
My heart clutches on to my chest
And I hold on to comforting thoughts
While you keep up your prosecution
Death
You’re a friend of all
An enemy of all
The reality of all
