LADY DEATH


I can see the end clearly now.
It is no longer a speck on the horizon,
Or an event in the future.
I call Death by her first name,
Sleep with her,
Wake up with her beside me.
She is always so cold when I'm with her.
No words of love can warm her.
When I hold her, my heart freezes.
I see the tragedy of life.
My Lady seems so attractive tonight.
My time has come.
I can't live with her.
I can't live without her.
