Time

A tunnel of blackness is all that surrounds me 
Until I see that light everyone always talks about 
It’s warmth covers me like a childhood blanket
And then I’m standing with lost family
Why is this happening 
I’m not ready for this ending I’ve been given
I have love at last down waiting  for me
I cant make her wait because she is my soul 
She is my light 
My salvation 
Take me away from her and I am nothing but an empty vessel 
Before I was not afraid for I had nothing to lose 
But now I am
I am afraid of death and all that comes with it
