I walked along the road,

In days it seemed quite cold

Leaves crunched beneath my feet

Here death will not complete

Its journey I will ponder

In life I will but wander.

Sleep is close to death, I say

In sleep so still I lay

Because death doesn’t stop for me

In life I live, I see.

Love and pain cannot be controlled

They exist beyond the confines of the soul

If I feel not love I feel not pain

I’m dead inside – my heart is lame

One wonders how the two extremes

Are tied so tight

For love is pain, and

Pain is love

Existing emotions from above

Today I took a life

Feeling nothing worldly but strife

I cried a tear of pain

Never happiness would I deign

Tomorrow is nothing but sun

But I will be all but done

My life is naught but fear

Crying tear after tear

Make haste I say, come here

For lighting I am wary

The storms grow fast and heavy

Thunder booms in themes so merry

God watches every soul

In tears I can’t control

In happiness I do pray

Until that weary day

Today I took a life
Feeling nothing worldly but strife
I cried a tear of pain
Never happiness would I deign
Tomorrow is nothing but sun
But I will be all but done
My life is naught but fear
Crying tear after tear
