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.
