Death's Call Poem by Lilith SpiritTheif

Death's Call

Rating: 5.0


Voices echo in my head,
What thoughts dare not say.
So I lay there in my bed,
and wonder, what's my price to pay?

My mind wonders until it's a mess.
I shout out, oh voices please just stop.
Answers or questions, I could not take a guess.
For my mind is crowded, filled to the top.

Soon something rustles in the corner of my room.
Followed by the sound, one like a great big boom;
I know what now lurks there,
and it holds not a single care.

But I have nothing to fear,
Even when it comes near;
Thought I want to scream
I tell myself it's only a dream.
Yet I know that's the lie
I'm just not ready to say goodbye.

Now I'm slowly letting go
my heart rate is so slow.
It's my blood I am covered in,
Red now stains my skin.

It's the beast that's taken it.
It truly just wouldn't quit;
I stare at my choices,
and regret so much.

The ground below that I clutch,
Doesn't keep me there no more;
I've left this world forever now.
I no longer ask myself how.

I have answered death's call,
and soon sounds will echo through the hall.
of a voice that shouts for me
I wonder if they knew I was never free?
