Death draws close
his emptiness coming near
though its comforting to know
your ghost resides here
He came in your night
took you with your eyes closed
and your being unconcious
did you dream your last breath
did you watch yourself being laid to rest
in the arms of death

watch over me if you can
i know you understand
no more pain
or wasting away
i will wait
until i see you again someday

your name will be written on my heart
and glowing on my face
your life in my eyes
your death in my way
i'll be able to move on
though it won't be today
let me cry
before i say goodbye
and wonder why
you had to fight to die.
