I believe in death it peeks around the next minute the next hour not for me but for my heart for those I love best and most it waits to strike me at my core
I believe in death
it’s proved itself to me again and again with irreversible blows
take me I say and leave them let them live let them live once more
the answer is like a cold winter night silent and pure
the answer chews at my heart
I believe in death it’s taken who I am and twisted twisted my present into my past
.
I believe in death how could I not when it nudges me with its great maw from below and then rages down on me taking away chunks of who I am
carries them off to non existence
like phantom limbs I still feel each one
