Cemeteries

When tears announce the end
to yet another thing
For me, understand,
it's the time it only begins.

The brilliant, cheerful chatter
that ultimately ends up
in devastation.

Doubts...
of past, present and future
They riddle, suffocate and don't let go
in darkest hours of soul
When the night sneaks up on you
and finds you unprepared to face it
Spits shadows over your heart
and commands you to embrace it.

Only way you can go is more deep
while every ounce of your soul is drowning
and heart from your chest starts to leap
Hoping to find a straw to grasp
but quickly becoming aware of the end.

Hands - so quickly losing their grip
When mirage of light quickly passes me by
deeper and deeper,
letting go,
I slip
Is this the way for anyone to die?

End comes quickly, then I'm awake
another thing has just died in my bed
underneath my covers
cemeteries lay in peace
Embracing me forever
with death-cold touch.
