Death's End Myth is All a Lie

Me in the ground

And your head in the sky

Please don’t let your eyes drown

But think of me while you fly

 

People claim death is the end

I have found this not to be true

I hope to see you again my friend

But enjoy seeing the color blue

 

There is this thing between us

Causing a death divide

Which makes me want to cuss

And you lose carbon dioxide
 

We have always feared the “C” word,

But unfortunately, you witnessed me bear it

Although the “C” on me was gird

You ceased my pain with lively spirit

 

When time was nearing an end

My conscious was on a shore

You tried to reach for my hand

But my mouth stopped its snore

 

I was pulled toward the ocean

Your water I could not feel

Eventually I saw no sun

To you it must’ve felt surreal

 

My ears were plugged

From the high-pitched line

Though my death is not to be shrugged

Promise me you’ll continue to shine

 

Continue to do your cartwheels

And drink wine until your heart’s content

Rapidly drive the orange automobiles

And swing hard so the baseball breaks cement

 

Overtime I know you’ll heal

Laugh out loud at our goofy memories

Focus showing your girls much zeal

Even if it means eating her burnt cookies

 

Children will be your biggest blessing

Stay with them through thick and thin

Through sunsets you all shall be biking

With every person’s teeth forming a grin

 

In the end, death does not stop our human body’s spirit

This is a pathetic lore created by non-believers

Though it physically separates me from your current planet

Our joyful souls will forever be side-by-side through earthly sunflowers

 

I am happy in the blissful place I am

Though I miss you, your mom and siblings very dearly

From here I wish I could send you a telegram

But know that here I feel safe and heavenly

 

So no, death is not the end of our relationship

Though it feels like the myth of death deems that true

The flat green line on the screen’s unending beep

Will never be a barrier as forever it is you I value
