Death and Dying
The thin line between life and death
Existence on earth all, that is left
The struggle with humanity
my vote and my cause
Does it end with insanity
me against various laws?
I look at the bridge
the presence of pain when I cross
The resistance of my crossing
none of the fears of loss
Age has found me defenceless
my time quite possibly has come
living the healthy life
wasn't a reason to hold on
All the things that make a life
all are present and there
Even in my memory
at not one cause do I stare
I look at those I leave behind
who's reaching I cannot touch
Before I even leave this earth
missing me so much
My Friend who's waiting waits patiently
with a place far better than this one
I'm just delaying the moment in time
with uncontrolable tension
Sometimes in life comes the moment
when it's best to say goodbye
Looking deep with in my mind
I hope it's all a lie
