Light
Death, come for me now
While my lips are still up in a smile
While my eyes are still filled with stars
While a laugh still dances on my breath.
Close my eyes with snow-laced lashes
And let me sleep in an eternal dream.
Death, please come for me now, and sweep me away
Before the darkness comes back for me
And draws my eyes away from the light
And drags me under, where I cannot see
Please come, while I can still feel the light
And not when my heart has ceased to breathe.
O come now, Death
And steal me from this life
Now, when I am finally happy
Esacped from my eternal plight
Take me as I am crying out in joy
And do not wait until I am screaming in pain
Please, come now Death
Hell's horses are approaching fast
Poised with my shackles of fire
Take me now, in my embracing of the galaxies
And keep me, tucked under the wings of heaven's angels
