Death Has Taking Hold of Me

death takes hold on me 
blackness and doom is all i see
as my body lies rigamortis and cold
i shall see no more sunlight i am told

i gather my last breath 
as i let out the air i accept death
i am afraid of the unknown

where will my soul take its final resting place
i am leaving this earth to go to another realm
earth is all i knew 
now i am dead and do not know what to do 

death such sorrow to give up my life no tommorrow
it is over my  suffering my sorrow 
death has taking hold of me
