Fool

Everything is falling
Falling apart
I hear the voices calling
Calling me into the dark
I hear you and you're crying
Begging me not to go
But I know I'm dying
The seconds passing slow
It feels like sleep, welcoming and calm
Humming a lullaby, almost like a psalm
But it's praise goes to freedom, no longer trapped here
Freedom from pain, betrayal; I'm smiling from ear to ear
Who wouldn't want this?
Who could resist?
Relief washes over me as I take in my last breath
I'm staring at my lifeless body as I'm greeted by Death.
He takes my hand and leads me down
Down to the pits of Hell
I can't believe my eyes, if I'm dreaming, I can't tell
Anxiety overwhelms me as I listen to all the screams
"Don't worry, dear, don't fret. It's not as awful as it seems."
He grins an evil grin and let's go of my hand
He turns to walk away, this torture I cannot stand
"Please don't leave, take me with you, I don't deserve this place."
"My dear, you committed suicide. You died with too much haste,"
He says, "You had a bright future, you lived for many years,
"There were many fits of laughter and many nights of tears,
"But in the end it's worth it, you were destined for something great,
"But you chose to die so soon, my dear, you sealed your very fate."
Baffled and scared, running toward the skeleton man
He smirked at me, so mischievously, and grabbed me yet again
He took me to where my body lay, motionless and pale
I stepped back into it, puked and took a deep inhale
I started crying from the pain, but I'm alive and that will do
When suddenly, I heard a chuckle, as Death whispered, "Fooled you."
