Please don't keep flirting with Death.
They'll seduce you, a slow steady burn.
Convincing you they're perfect for your needs.
Then they'll take you and break you,
Leaving you on the edge.
Broken and wilting.
They can't make you join them,
But they can lead you to the choice.
You may not even notice.
Until they're right in you face.
Whispering,
'Come with us.
It's the only way.
To be truly
H A P P Y'
Please quit now.
Before they've claimed you.
For forever,
And the rest of us are left
Holding nothing
But your dust and our sorrow.
