I can see her staring at me
Her eyes fixed on me
Like a wolf stalks its prey
Her scent reminiscent of the past
She's so close yet so far away
My heart starts to race
Like I've just been awaken by a nightmare
Her beauty fades as her face turns into an empty skull
Her hair falls like autumn leafs
Slowly carried away by the winds of change
She reminded me that death is always part of life
Fear it or not we all face it
Some soon, some later
With no time frame
Its presence haunts us all
As we see our loved ones fade
Away from our lives.
