Death takes me in its hands  
and whispers sweet nothings in my ear.

I beg and plead to go with him,  
but then once again it's morning,  
and I am still breathing.

Death says he will take me eventually,  
but eventually is too long for me.

Now every night I lie in bed,  
eagerly awaiting him.  
Silently hoping, praying that I will meet my end.

That we will finally be reunited,  
for all eternity, together again.

For He is my one true love.

All I wish for is Death.
