i wanna experience death


i wanna experience death.

i wanna feel a pain so strong it’s numbing,

i wanna look up at the sky and be greeted by

another world,

a better world.

 

i wanna experience death.

i wanna feel a cold hand squeeze my heart,

i wanna have the world stop for a while as

everything goes quiet and dim…

s

     h

           h

                  h

                         h...

 

i wanna experience death.

i wanna feel my heart race down,

to barely a beat,

bump.. Bum-bump…

i wanna then slowly shut my eyes as i take my last shuddering breath.

 

i wanna experience death.

i wanna know what happens next,

wanna be embraced by a better place,

leave the taunting voices behind,

as i whisper goodbye.

 

i wanna experience death...

but i wanna live to feel it.
