Death

I think that I've changed.

I used to be afraid of the storms;

when the lightening would strike

I would cry,

then the thunder would make my

bones rattle

with fear,

teeth clenching,

heart stopping,

anxiety driven pain.

But that is nothing to how I felt losing you.

The most important person in my life.

I was a lost lonely soul,

and you

loved me anyway.

Watching you take your last breath,

was worst than any storm.

Let them come,

the rain,

the thunder,

the lightening,

hurricane,

tornado,

let them,

take me away.

Even if they come

I will not be afraid.

Because I lost a piece of myself,

the day I watched you fade

away.

It happened so fast

You were gone, Just like that.

And

Nothing will take this pain

away from my chest;

The way my heart still aches.

The pain.

It's okay.

Let the rain come,

I will sit and I will play

Outside.

So if the storm is coming to

take me away,

I'll stand there so still,

because I am not longer afraid of the

death that comes my way.
