Moment of Death
They stand over me, lying so still
I can not talk, I have lost my will
My breath slows until there is no more
I feel myself slipping through a one way door
I look to the heavens and I see the light
I look back down to where I lie, and I wonder if this could not be right?
My eyes finally close
I am not afraid to cry
My heart slows to nothing
I am not afraid to die
I am no longer alone as someone holds me
We rise to the Heavens where I beg to be.
