There
It’s quite clear
Darkness spared
Light shared
The path expressed
An end to be met
He is death
He is here for me
I’m dying from a disease
A sickness of the brain
Impossible is any relief
Screaming for all of my life
The silence offered
Will be a welcomed break
I am afraid least of all
I will take his hand
I will peer into his eyes
I will not question why
This soul is ready to go
Outward bound
Downward sound
An end no matter the way
A much needed sense of relief
That will last forever
Is there a Heaven above
Is there a Hell below
Such destinations matter none
Faith or lack thereof
Plays no part in any of this
All that I know for certain
All that I am quite sure of
Is that I can see him
He is coming my way
He answers to but only one name
Death
I am ready to scream it
I am eager to see it
He is advancing
Gleaming brighter and brighter
Flooding away the darkness
Filling the spaces between
There is no chance to change
What is about to happen
Because this fate has always been mine
He is just doing what’s right
His solemn role must be played
He knows nothing of my life
But he knows everything
That is about to be
He unlike most
Will not judge me
He unlike most
Will accept me as I am
Within a breath
Death will be near
He will reach out his hand
I will reach out mine…
