Life In Death
Life in Death
All hope is lost
Life and death, death and life, interchangeable.
I am terrified, afraid of the unknown. I am persuaded by pain.
Pain
I set the scene, don’t want a mess.
Pick out my favourite dress, a note, catch my breath.
All is calm, I know my fate. I am the master of the gate.
I slice, cut deep. Don’t pretend. There can be no debate.
Fear
Fear of the unknown, fear for my pain.
My life to this point beyond the sane.
Breath is shorter, vision is blur.
Beyond this point no cure.
Calm
I am slipping away, exit just as I came.
Quiet and calm, I close my eyes.
I smile at the irony, red is my favourite colour.
My life, lost love, leave my mind.
I am slipping, slipping, beyond return…
Finally I am gone
