Death

********

I felt cold down my spine, my mind froze
My tongue tied together I was numb
I went blind except for darkness
My bones grind and feasted on each other
I couldn’t move
I can’t explain my heart’s quaking apart with the
sound of my heartbeats making my ears deaf
I struggled words out my mouth but got lost
somewhere within my throat
My eyes gazed at the cold atmosphere and tears
stagnated around
I was helpless before the deaths full grabbing
hands
Death was a life’s stage we all have to get to
I thought of death as an happening where people
gather, cry and it was over
I heard of death and I thought of a casket with
lifeless creature, simple
I heard of death and I thought of people fighting
where to rest the deceased
I thought of death and I saw flowers, roses laid
on the fresh earth
I heard of death and a story of people claiming
to be wifes husbands and children of the corpse
I heard of death and I saw people with black
dressed from head to toe
No, I was wrong, death was something different
I was wrong from the start till when I wished I
could have an agreement with death
Agreement to take me in the place of the him
Bidding bye till we meet again, again you never
sure of
May his soul rest in peace, when we left peace-
less pieces on earth, what a crap?
This was hard I can ever imagine
RIP was at everyone’s tip of a tongue, so easy
to let out
But this time it has power to cut through my
flesh and fountain my eyes
Take heart is so cheap to a person loosing
someone on earth
I wish death could speak and explain exactly how
is selects
I wish death could speak and explain it’s
greadyness
If my senses could have a switch to switch off
so I can escape the pain
The pain of loosing forever
The reality on my side is much different with
what I knew
Who I’m I?
That was not me
I needed to wake up in the happening dream
The pain paralysed my happiness and gave birth
a new life minus one two three
