I hear his voice
calling out to me
So gentle, yet chilling
like a whisper on the breeze

He says he understands
my bitterness and pain
He says that he can help
He can take it all away

As his voice fills my head
the air becomes heavy
I feel his presence
So strong..it suffocates me

He tells me not to struggle
Just let go, give in to him
And I will never have to know
disappointment or lonliness again

I can feel his icey hands
reaching deep into my soul
In the strength of his grip
My body turns cold

And the last tear falls
as I slip into the night
When Death came for me
I was too weak to fight

Now don't worry. This isn't something that I'm feeling. It was just something that came to me and I thought it could have alot of different meanings.
So, enjoy!

Scary stuff...

Well written. It grabs big time and doesn't let go easily.

I hope nobody minds, I felt like drudging up some older stuff of mine seen as how I haven't had much new stuff to add lately. I figured some of the newer additions to the dark family might like to have a look.
And my thanks to those who commented and I didn't get a chance to thank you sooner!

I cant believe I missed this danni.. I have been reading everything you write and always have comments upon them..this is no different I can relate and see within this piece for what it may mean.. I think it has deeper meaning to it then just death.. Maybe not but I like to read between the lines.. Well done again danni!

Yet another reply, huh? Bet you don't mind...great poem. Creepy, but excellent. The title caught my eye and the poem caught my soul.

"So gentle, yet chilling".   This poem really touches me.  Death is something each of us must eventually embrace when our time on this earth is done.   James

Wow!  i once wrote something similar at a time in my life when that was all i could think about, now i've moved on but its good for the soul i think to look back and see how scarry a thought it actually is and say to yourself that you dont want to think or be that way anymore.  bravo!!!

A beautifully chilling poem.
