So Painful yet so peaceful
So, grim yet so beautiful
Dangerous but so inviting
Countless ways to invite us
Sometimes slow, sometimes quick
Used to resent it but now I crave it
Every day, the desire soars more and more
Denied its invitation once
But now slowly changing my mind
With every passing second
Pondered, I did
Whether the world would perceive that
I accepted his invitation
Would they look for me
As I danced in his arms
They say his twin is a beautiful lie
And that he is the ugly truth
But I differ
From what I have seen
Life is an ugly lie
And Death is the beautiful truth

A great juxtaposition of opposites it speaks of a different perspective. Nicely worded
