Death the silent visitor

Death the silent visitor

Haunts your waking moments

When panic swirl takes you down

To the bleak and barren place

Where you were trapped

Fighting for air

How much of your life energy

It stole away

That fateful day

When death met you on the road

A twenty foot pole

You wrapped your car around

So that now

When there is no sound

Body memoires haunt you

Capturing your soul

As they reach inside you

With long fingers that wrap themselves

Like tendrils around your heart

(You are no longer of this world

But set so very far apart)

And no one sees this silent agony that you endure

Never knows how close you are some days

To giving it all away

As death smiles at you

Making a devil’s promise of freedom from the pain

But what will you gain

By losing your life to death

So today when death reaches out a hand

You will again

Somehow find the strength

To turn away

Looking for chink of sunlight

No matter how narrow

Searching for ways to

Let go of past pain

Death freeze

And this deep dark well of sorrow

That seems to ransom

All of your todays and tomorrows
