Death

Death is coming for all one day,
It is for certain, a life of decay,
For as I fade into the blackness,
As death rises to greet me,
No one is a greater friend or enemy than death,
I said my goodbyes to this empty place,
No pain, no ill, nothing to fear,
As the true pain is with those who I have left,
Death is but nothing but pain in my heart,
Life is a call, death is the answer,
Death is when the fight is over,
For it has brought the final blow,
Life is over as it shows,
For there is nothing left but,
To enter the open arms of DEATH.
