Death Is Life

They say 
to truly live
you must die a death first

They say
to love
you must be heartbroken first

They say
for good times to come
the bad must roll in first

But what about those
who will be dead forever
who will be heartbroken forever
who will never get out of the bad times

Their death is their eternity 
for them there is never a good 
only bad
a deep hole 
of sadness and woe
they forever try to get out of 
but they never can

death is their life
