IF DEATH COMES KNOCKING

If Death comes knocking at my door 

I won't scream 

and bite and claw 

I won't beg for a stay 

Of just one more day 

If Death comes knocking at my door 

I think I'll smile 

And peek over 

her shoulders 

At all the beloved faces,

Run into loving embraces 

When Death comes knocking at my door

Waking up today I realized I've been more than asleep, I've been drifting through my own life, the prisoner of an endless grief. The hole in my heart won't heal. I can't feel anything but the pain in me, and all my joys are fleeting, for others and never for myself.

We all need a little death in our lives.
