Death Has Taken Me

Death has taken me
To a place where I once lived
I stare in shock at my old home
A place once filled with joy

The happy faces
The parties of celebration
Of jubilation
Of joy

But on that dark and dreadful night
A man with unknown intentions
Came to my home
My place of joy

He raised his arm
He held in his hand
A deadly gun with just as bad intentions
As the man

He shot and killed
My family of three
In just a few weeks
It would have been four

He shot himself
Before he found me
In the door way I stood
With shock on my face

I ran from my home
For it was now dead
Just like my family
And the man with the gun no longer in hand

Now I’m back skinny and pale
Now I’m dead just like my home
Just like my family
Just like the man

I didn’t get that far into my life
I’m still young but old at heart
I’ve seen many things from the places that I’ve been
I never wanted to come back here

But I’m here
It is the end
Death has taken me
To a place I once lived
I stare in shock at my old home
A place once filled with joy
But is now dead

My family
The man with the gun
Then there is me and this old run down house

Out of all the places that I’ve been
All the things I’ve seen
Death has brought me here

Where it begins it shall end
Where it ends it shall never begin
For death is the destroyer of life
