Dear Death

Death, I can see you close by.
Needing your embrace, I stare at my hands.
The moonlight shines down on the blade.
My pain doubles at all my memories.

Death, I'm asking and begging, take me away.
Somewhere cold, somewhere dark, somewhere alone.
Away from him and the pain I need to be.
Wrap me in your arms, Death, and take me far.

Death, you are getting closer I can see.
I'm getting weaker as my liquid life flows.
From my chest, I pull out the blade.
Gasping for air, I stare at the bloody knife.

Death, my friend, you are here for me.
To take me away finally from the pain.
For this I do not regret at all.
Knowing you are here I am actually happy.

Death, you are holding me in your arms.
I'm leaving this world now with you carrying me.
The knife falls from my hands and my breathing slows.
I close my eyes and leave my cruel life.
