See You On the Darkside

death is so sweet
to lie down in a eternal sleep
to go to the land of the unknown
to make a grave a final home

maybe next lifetime ill be a king 
i would rule with you by myside queen
beside every good man is a good woman 
not behind him 
maybe infront 

to lie down and take my final rest 
to die like an old pest
to leave the ones i love the best 
tell me it is all a test

will i pass i dont think so 
if i leave before i awake 
i leave you nothing to take
only my heart my precious lady 

see you on the darkside

A beautiful somber poem, filled with emotion and desire. I love how you hope that in the next life, things will be more forfilled for you! We all desire that somewhere in the afterlife we will find the answers that we are searching for. Great poem Autry! Love Jane
