Danse Macabre #5

For only the dead truly know death  
and yet, all and sundry will tell you a thing or two  
you, who live and breathe  
 
do you know about sadness  
unfettered wailing with flaying arms  
an aching emptiness that feeds  
the desperation for something  
one thing, anything to bring back  
what's been snatched away  
 
for only the dead truly know death  
and yet, all and sundry will tell you a thing or two  
you, who live and breath
