Oh death, oh death
Oh death, oh death
No more, no less
One does confess
I will digress
She wanders close
She makes you feel
She makes you take a leap
Then kneel
She makes you weak
She takes your soul
Makes you toil
With your own goal
She’ll make it last
Then make you wonder
Toil with your own fate
Then plunder
Make you cry, and wail, then fall
Beyond the borders
Of it all
I don’t know who or where I am
Don’t die dear grief, you keep me real
No more, no less

This is dark and deep. I understand we all have been through this. Hope you are doing better.
The entire poetry reminds me of a famous Ghazal by GHALIB . Ghalib used to be the equivalent of Shakespeare in Urdu and Persian poetry. ( Ghazal is a form of poetry with collection of verses, in the form of musical writing)
I will quote one of his famous verse from his Ghazal.
I do not see any hope in living. There is no solution in sight.
Death is definite one day. It has to come someday certainly to everyone.
But why can't I sleep in the night.
Why am I so restless when I know that the end will be same for all irrespective of wealth, luck or actions?
