Heaven's Poems

What Else

Tell my love I loved him

Tell my family I tried

Know that I'll be happier

Than anyone when I die

Death doesn't seem

Close to me at all

I feel like I'll fail

Even in my fall

The room is so tight

It's shaped itself into to me

The walls keep coming closer

As if I'd try to break free

I'm waiting for it to kill me

When will I reach my end

Even life itself

Has let go of my hand

A million times what else

Will there be nowhere to bury me

Even after my death

Is it true I won't find peace

What are my legs doing

Escaping my death

When there's literally nothing

For me in this life left

Death keeps chasing

And I unwillingly run away

Life runs away from me

So why does she try to stay

You'll never understand

I was born on a leash

That tightened as I reached my hand

And nobody looked at me

Perhaps someone was looking

But I was too blind to see

Thank you for ever caring

Though only you were seeing me
