fallen_angel

Angels grabbed me by my hands
And lifted me from my shadows
Yet Death reached up
And pulled me under
I felt Deaths grip upon my soul
I tasted his sulfur breath
My life, I thought , was doomed to end
As a troubled, battered teen
My plan for escape had gone to far
No turning point in sight
With one great swallow
I downed my will
Wishing it to still my fight
Praying for the end
I stared Death in the face that night
I shoke his bony hand
In the beginning I did not fear Death
But having tasted my loss of living
I feared Death, as a vampire fears the light
I often think back upon that night
I wondered why I lived
Was my will to live too strong to die
Or was my spirit too weak to end. . .
