Now I lay thee, in my chest
To set this weary soul to rest.
My skin, a coffin for thy blade;
My hands will guide you to mine aid.
And if thine edge shall prove too dull,
A second thrust shall pierce my skull.
What small, yet deadly thing, this knife,
Shall be the tool to quell my strife.
To those i hold dear, this is where we must part
As I plunge this blade into my heart.
But do not cry, in fact; Rejoice!
For now, the dead; Mine shall join their voice.
And if, somehow, with me, you wish to join
Death's only toll is but a coin.
Alas, my destination is but around the bend,
And without her, my time must come to an end.
Again, this is just another repost.

Ahh, the death poem. Every Poet tends to write one at some point...why, I just wrote mine yesterday in fact! Not involving suicidal tendencies due to a lost love one mind you, but the understanding that because the body cannot live anymore, doesn't mean the spirit succumbs to the reaper!
