Rendezvous with Death

I've been clearing my phone and rearranging my life 

analyzing the way I spend my time 

because that's what you do when your phone tells you your running out of space 

what do you do when life tells you, your running out of time

keep pushing, work harder, distract yourself

what are you thinking about 

I've been wondering about the times before I was alive 

before my sense of passing exist 

prior to my consciousness 

when Kennedy said he had a rendezvous with death 

it reminds me of a time when I was a mere child 

dreaming of death 

and fantasizing depression 

that was the only way to make it through 

quoting the dead 

feeling the drama in the triumph of Shakespeare 

because in tragedies, everyone dies and we don't bat an eyelash 

how long after he released those words did he die

how long did the rendezvous last 

was it fun? 

was it the kind of rendezvous you feel when writing or reading a story 

with a fucked up main character 

is it the rendezvous that you fall in love with 

over and over 

like an addict 

understanding that love doesn't exist and it is really bad 

but you just can't help yourself

fall 

in 

love 

with 

your 

plight. 

mine is death, I am spinning the grim into a beautiful love story 

reaper when I meet you... 

I'm gonna need a whole night 

because the pleasure is all mine.
