death becomes

catefrances

it walks beside you every day
it's closer than you think
it reaches out with bony fingers
caresses your naked skin
you think it's just a breeze blowing
it laughs at how wrong you are
the thing beside you
the thing beside you
well it's close
it's death
it's me
no one wants it near them
no one sees it clear
it reaches out and touches you
it breaks you down
it's me
i'll touch your heart
your mind
your soul
i'll not leave you in peace
if i touch you
then i want you
i'm close
i'm death
it's me
close your eyes
dream a dream
think back upon your life
i'll be there soon enough
see asunset
hear a song
be there patiently
i'll not take long
i'm getting closer
trust that i'll be there
i'm coming
coming
getting closer
here i am
i'm death
i'm here
it's me
