Death

I am alone in this dark place
I hear something moving around
It is creeping in on me
Waiting, it is always waiting
It will come for everyone
It is as sneaky as a fox in the woods
I wish I could escape this 
As it draws near
I feel my last breath escape my lungs
Finally I am free

Thank you. My mom had passed away seven years ago. It was hard but now it is bittersweet knowing that she is no longer in pain.
