Death
It consumes thy soul
And melts thy heart
It fries thy brain
And seeps into one's mind
Crushing
Pushing
Pressuring
"Do it! Do it!
Kill yourself!"
One gives in
Another does not
One is gone
Another is not
One has hurt thyselves
And been cast out of the world without a last word
Another has not
Why does death torment?
It seeps through us
Knowing us
It captures us at every angle
It knows us
It knows me
It knows you
It won't take me
I won't let it
Will you let it take you?
