When death shows up

Knocking life's door endlessly

Slaying fond memories of a lifetime

Opening a room for uninterrupted silence

To attend to the uncharted passions

Brimming in the heart's pathway.

You know all's about to end

The laughter, sorrows, smiles and tears

All's going to reach a standstill

And when you open your eyes

Creeps in dark truths of life

Which ultimately needs acceptance.

You'll need hours and hours

To overcome this sadness

And to cover up my emptiness

Behind the curtain of yesterday

Tough to bring back your conscience

To the fresh breath of today.

Never be sad and emaciated

Because that's how life is

It takes you through strange lands 

And brings you the fragrance of love

But before you inhale in its freshness

You vanish to the unknown skies.
