Surrounded by fear
Not wanting to suffer
Slowly fading away
Death is near

Memories swirling around
My body cold on the ground
Covered in blood
Death is here

Darkness takes over
A figure approaches
Neither angel nor demon
The Grim Reaper is there

I remember the day that I met you
The sun was shining along with a breeze
We had a blast at the park barbecue
You and I relaxed underneath the trees

When I opened my eyes you were not here
I can still smell your scent on your pillow
There is no one who can lend me an ear
Without you I am at an all-time low

I still miss you when I am all alone
The fun did not seem to last long enough
because now I am broken to the bone
No one told me that I had to be tough

Everyday I bring flowers to your grave
You came and left just like a tidal wave

I can still picture your sweet, little smile
Even those mesmerizing small, blue eyes
You were my only lily of the Nile
Every day with you was a nice surprise

I shed a few tears when I first held you
Just seven pounds and a couple ounces
How very small you were until you grew
A voice so sweet until it was soundless

Our time together flew by way too fast
A moment you were here, then you were gone
My life was overdue for a downcast
I do not know how I am to live on

You were my most precious little baby
Surely I will see you again...maybe

A desperate cry
Pain in the night
A child alone
Fighting for their life
People reach out
Never do they touch
Instead they turn
Preferring not to know
A terrible fate
When it's too late

Demons* in the night
Scaring you to the bone
Taking away the light
Forcing you to be alone

Praying on their victims
Who were peacefully sleeping
Leaving them sicken
And no longer in dreamland

A fire is crackling
The flames  dancing
Your bravery is melting
You are alone

No longer able to remember
Your body is on autopilot
Hope is a fleeting ember
Fading away into the *night

Daddy's little girl I used to be
His very special princess
That is no longer me
Now I am all alone
More so than before
Stretching out my wings
Until I am able to sore

His little girl I used to be
Precious and innocent
No longer does that describe me
This world is grim
Not meant for the frail
I must become tough and resilient
For I cannot afford to fail

Live* life before I come
To take you before you're done
Find someone to love
Maybe even your true love

Laugh at all the little things
This will give you wings
To sing a song of joy
For all to enjoy

Dance to your hearts content
Despite those present
Dream of life
Not of the afterlife

Always keep a smile
No matter the trial
Save some time to play
On any given day
