Death, if you must take me
Take me knowing that you are more cursed than me
Your dead eyes will never feel the gravity of a tear
And you will never feel pain like a human
You will never understand that
The beauty of this world is a result of you
Oh, great enemy, you will defeat me in the end
But defeat me knowing there is beauty in tragedy
As the time is melting away and you steal each second from me,
You make the rest more valuable
Maybe welcoming my finite existence makes you powerless against me
You will never understand the fear of death, the fear of you
And if you did, you wouldn't have the courage to accept the burden of a mortal life
You are the shadow in all our hearts and then again
Our smiles are a dim light refusing to let go
You are the definition of fear
But the mirroring of your cape in the eyes of those closest to you
Makes us less afraid of you
The world is not a beautiful place
But the weight of your image in my head
Allows me to move forwards
Before each step towards the end
I can feel your breath on me
But I won't give up
And even if you must transform my future
Into a drawing in a hospital room
Do it knowing
You are more cursed than me
