Deliver me to Death

Nightmares screaming memories of things I can’t explain,

The thunder cracks above my head and I can hear the rain,

I raise my hand to wipe my eyes still swollen from the tears,

I try to run my fingers through my hair, through all my fears,

 

A flash of light illuminates despair though out the haze,

Suddenly I see myself and I am left in daze,

I’ll plead for life and be denied for I am all but truth,

So all I will be able to is die I’ll die for you,

 

My fragile bones but starved and cold will break without a thought,

I’ve ran for all my life but still again they found me, caught,

Suddenly my tears are wiped away by soft and warm,

I feel no rain, no cold, no sadness, there is now no storm,

 

I graze into a non-existent state but I am pulled back,

A voice is screaming light is beaming all of what I lack,

My ebony is pulled away and I am lift to air,

The features of a stranger focus on a face so fair,

 

I try to smile up at him he cries my name with love,

He seems so tall angelic still he comes for me above,

I close my eyes my time is done for all I wished to see,

Was one last glimpse of him to take his loving face with me.
