Dear Death

Understand one thing and take it to death
Tell him of it’s worth and show him it’s tears
He will drench it in darkness and tell of nothing better
It is pathetic that no one shall ever see that you never mattered

Cosmic passing, gone to the galaxy without a blink
All that he never touched will know nothing 
His hands could not reach light years
But his thoughts reached further than deaths ever will

When you meet deaths loving inescapable grasp
Stare him in his black hole eyes and tell him
Tell him you never mattered
But don’t forget that he is there forever
An eternity in shadows 
His only power is inevitability
Feel the jealousy in his intimate hold for he cannot think beyond the light 
In our last dying breath we still hold the might
