Death

Death in a game
Or death to your worries
But when you see the end to your life
That is when things get real
Your heart beats the last beat
Your breath shallows ‘till no air is left
Your body slumps
Your tensed muscles loosen
Your brain rests at last
Loved ones mourn
Puddles of tears forming at their feet
We shouldn’t fear death
We should look forward to death
A resting place
