The Night I Welcomed Death

It was ten past midnight
and the wind rushed past the rain
to steal my breath
I was falling over beaten bodies
trying to run away from death
Then the sky split open
I was choking
I couldn't find my point of view
Something stood above me
I could not see
There was nothing I could do
I reached in my pocket
to search for an answer
but all I could were remains of my life
Time was against me
My future uncertain
Thoughts piercing through my mind
like a knife
I started shaking
All thoughts were breaking
Nothing seemed clear
My darkness had come
I begged and I pleaded
Redemption I needed
The tears that I cried
once belonged to the sun
Then in the distance
someone was calling
Someone was shouting out my name
I tried to answer
but my words were stolen
I didn't want to play this game
Can't you see me crying
I am dying
I can't control these violent thoughts
These things in my head
Demons lay inbred
Never learned nothing I was taught
The voice it continued
Calling me closer
Shouting for me to stay calm
and hold on
I did what it asked me
but I was still nervous
I just couldn't think
who this voice had come from
Then I remembered
I had befriended
someone I thought I would never find
That voice in the distance
always persistant
was my friend called Courage
giving peace to my mind
Now with Courage behind me
My fear was subsiding
I knew I'd be strong enough
to pull through
So I took hold of Death
who was stood right before me
and told him to do
what he needed to do
He then kissed my breathing
I knew I was leaving
My soul was laid bare
and so was my death
Acceptance I now had
My life wasn't too bad
and so I let go of my life
and I slept

Just noticed I made a mistake in the 2nd stanza, 3rd line. It's supposed to read
"but all I could find were remains of my life"
Hate it when that happens.Oh well |
