Encouraging Death

Footsteps cloaked in shadow,
Echoes through the night.
A silent whisper in the distance,
Yearning for the light.

Searching for a window,
When what you need is a door.
Fingertips trailing along the wall,
Body dragging against the floor.

Take a deep breath,
Pause your hesitant movement.
Sense the floral aroma,
Make the right improvement.

Feathers of a memory,
Rub against your skin.
Linger on the tyranny,
Step backwards once again.

Chase your dreams,
Before they turn to nightmares.
Close the ruined seams,
Stitch before you become aware.

Eyes of faceless crystal,
Heart of ruby gold.
Keep the beating still,
Avoid the empty hole.

Dig the graves of millions,
Plant a seed of doubt.
Shovel in a barrier,
Never let me out.

Sunlight burns inside,
And I feel so alive.
Remove the veil of wondering,
And feel the falling wind.

Lift your gaze to the sky above,
A colorless rainbow means no love.
Step into the flowing river,
Relish the time for a fatal shiver.

Spread your wings of hope,
You will learn to fly alone.
Stuck inside the maze forever,
I'm afraid the game is over.

Your path has found its end,
Do not run from death again.
Walk the lonely hallway,
Tuck those wings away.

Head straight into the darkness,
Don't cringe from mere shadow.
You can keep your inner bliss,
But remember me wherever you go.

You linger in the doorway,
You lean against the walls of life.
You try to find a sight of glass,
But light cannot save you now.

A home of many,
A house of none.
Enough room for plenty,
But there is no sun.

Goodbye, my friend,
I will miss your gauntly face.
We will never meet again,
But you can never leave that place.

Choose your poison,
Accept this fate.
Wave away your family,
Because death will not wait.
