Autumn Leaves volume 6 number 7 |
I've looked Death in the eye, and, victorious, lived another
day
I've held my mother and watched the tenuous thread of life break
I
will never be strong enough to bear knowing you are gone to stay
The loss of
the one I held most dear is just too much for me to take
So, when I sleep
this night, I will pretend you'll be back tomorrow
Blessed kiss of Morpheus
take me where this loss can not reach me
Deaden, if but for the most brief
moment, this heart's black sorrow
Until Death's sweet embrace can, at last,
from this, set me free
