(DEATH IS SITTING NEXT TO ME, IN A HARMONIOUS MELODY.
HE SINGS TO ME
AS I FALL ASLEEP.)
Death sings me a lullaby
And I sob into his arms
I cry at his words
And he hums along
He tells me that it's okay
To feel this way
To let it all out
Now that I can
Death is a gentle soul
I told him so
I break down on the floor
On the white of eternity
In the heart of a star
A billion lightyears away
He tucks my hair behind my ear
And helps me
Pick up the pieces
I've fallen to
It's a devastating feeling
Being loved like this
He lets me cry
Until my tears
Run dry
He lets me cry
Until I feel numb
He lays me down
And I close my eyes
For a little while
I cry like I've never done before
After this
Comes acceptance
He said
So I find peace
In the white that surrounds me
And the vast nothingness
I dive in
I find comfort
In the silence
And I hold my breath
For as long as I can
I can't feel my heartbeat
And my blood has turned to stardust
And my tears into asteroids
Floating aimlessly
Through the cosmos
And I finally learn to accept
Who I truly am
I decide that it's best
To be at peace
Since I'll be here
For a long time.
all beginnings must come to an end
though circles don't have either.
maybe I'll get another chance
a fair try
next time 'round.
