Scarlite

Here I lie

Softly falls
the light of day
upon the sound
of your last goodbye

in comes darkness
from above
giving comfort
while I die

a shot in the stomach
a stab in the back
one real wound
one only figurative

this is not how
I thought dying would feel
a spreading numbness
thoughts of, \"please, don\'t let me die\"

too little pressure
so much blood
no one can save me
as you walk away

a black abyss comes
rushing in
any and all light
flees away

I welcome the nothing
no feelings of despair
there is no pain
in the shadows of my mind

no longer can I feel
the blood flowing out
or the uneven ground
of my shallow grave

and within the cold soil
maggots play
there will be a feast
of flesh for them today

will anything change
is someone going to miss me
if I were them
I\'d rejoice

rejoice, rejoice
my time has come
the last heart beat
one last stuttered breath

as Death welcomes me
with open arms
and with a twisted smile
he speaks to me

\"Welcome my dear
to the land of the dead
have no fear you will have fun
you and I shall get along

the others are waiting
don\'t be shy
after all everyone dies
why should you be different?\"

softly falls
your last goodbye
in comes darkness
here I lie
