Death

[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. . .

Uh, I really liked this.
Actually, it's kind of scary, I just posted something very similar; very similar.

I love how you describe your encounter with death, particularly the lines:

Very nice work, as always!

If you read between the lines you learn alot about me. My life in my eyes has not been easy and in some ways just plan torment, yet I know there are others out there that hurt worse than I so I just try to deal with it silently, this place has let me open up my mind and free the demons I have that plague me daily. I am in a very deep rut at this moment and I am trying not to act on all my instincts. I sit idealy by and watch everything from shuttered eyes and pray that some way this is all just a bad dream.
