You’re the one I love.

You’re like a beautiful, white dove.

I’ve never known someone so special.

You’re just a perfect jewel

Lost at sea by a beautiful person

No more beautiful than you.

You were washed up on the shore

By the big blue waves of the ocean

Resting quietly in the wet sand,

Waiting to be found

By a lost soul searching

For someone to hang on to.

And when you’re to be found

Your life will alter greatly;

The great white sand

That has kept you warm all of this time

Is not at all what it used to be.

It is not so easy to release from

You will be hurting,

But you will know:

The one who truly loves you

Is not your old companion.

It is me, the one who will keep you in my arms

And tell you stories that will make you smile

You need someone to care for you

As I care for you,

You need to carry your head up high,

As you have taught me in the past few months.

And so I will return the favor

If you will let me help you

Wash all that nasty sand off.

Oh what a chill tonight has been

This night has always been my dream

To walk through the deep, soft white

To see my breath as I try to speak

To shiver in my wits

To lick my cold, chapped lips

To feel my whole body become numb

As my fingers all fall off

My toes, my ears, and my nose too

They all rot and descend

And in a glimpse, to reach your house

In which I will be safe,

Too bad it was too late to save

My fingers, my ears, or even my nose

And what’s a person without those features?

Will I be outcast? No.

For I’m not he only one this winter.

A collector of personas

The more I get

The more I need

The more they expect

I give too much away

It’s not that I want more

Or even need more

I just like the feeling

Of knowing another

But I know only the minimum

And that’s all I came here for

But they all need more

And I’m not the one to give it to them

You see, I have a gift

It’s not for myself

It is all but for myself

It is for all the world

I will make you all know

All of the stories I know

Somehow, some day, I know I will

And if it doesn’t make you happy

I will not cry all of them out

For I will always know I tried.

Some say this world is coming to an end

Others say they do not care

Sometimes you see yourself as nuts

And then it comes to be

You see a stranger pull the trigger

And then it’s you they find

Your blood is quickly filling up the cracks

In your bathroom floor

There’s no time to regret it

No, there’s no time at all

Your spirit’s gone and so is the body

There is nothing to lose

Because there is nothing at all

Your death is near

And there’s no future

You die and you don’t even know it

Never finding out the meaning of it all

And some may think you’re lucky

Not having to witness this odyssey of terror

We’ll all kill each other

No matter how we care

The curses put upon us

Will neither help nor hurt us

We’ll all go very soon

No matter who we are

Down to the valley

And you’ll all try to hide

From Death: My faithful friend
