Live to die

Can you die to live or live to die?

When I feel the warmth of your skin against mine
Its like I'm in heaven yet I feel so alive

When I feel the coldness of where your hands once were but aren't anymore
I know I'm living...

...But I'd give anything to die again..

Author notes

Everyone uses death in a negative way nowadays. Now I'm trying to bring back some beauty to this shunned yet soulful word. Did I manage it??
