Death, Where Are You
Skulking - lurks an unseen shadow
chilling both the heart and marrow
destiny - your dust of sorrow
Death, where are you
Nurturing an endless grudge
at life’s end the gentle nudge
of darkness’ - god forsaken judge
Death, where are you
Breathless creature littered path
a trail of tears your aftermath
cold hallowed wail of livings wrath
Death, where are you
My pain beseeches you dear death
free these emotions, suppress my breath
beneath your cloak let me forget
Death, where are you
