afraid

after twenty days in icu I'm weak
barely cohesive
I'm afraid I'll die if I sleep
that's the truth
I fought so hard from the edge why?

Eternal Night

In grace, they bloomed, life's tender breasts,
Their strength, their love, in our hearts impressed.
Now, like stars at dawn's first light,
They've slipped away, into the eternal night.

dear death

Take me home, I beg of thee.
Take my hand, and set me free.

Dear death, please hear my plea
Release me from this misery.

You are here

I have seen death before
I have accepted it
A process of life
but I can not accept it in you
no you are alive
mingling
talking to boys
with your tricky face
and laughing out loud.

She Looked And Saw A Gun Aimed

Linda was getting herself ready.
She has been invited to Amanda's party.
Then, she heard a noise.
She Looked And saw a gun aimed.
Her dead corpse was found in Falmouth.

Your face haunts me
How can death touch beautiful things.

Existential Crisis

What happens
With these piles of paper

Once I meet
The Grim Reaper?

Imprisoned

When sorrow fills the void
I torment those who I adore
An homage for the living lost
I cannot hide anymore

I Looked In The Trees

I looked in the trees.
The panther gave a cold deadly stare.
It leaped itself towards me.

Mommy, come look!!
Daddy pointed a gun at his face and fired it!
He won't get up
Mommy, he's funny looking, come look!!
