Fighting not to say these words, Tears pour from my eyes
Like the torrential down pours of the everglades
My heart melts with sadness, grieving, my soul lashes out
The Reaper standing close, black shroud with rips and tears
chills crawl up my spine, as millions of pin pricks
Darkness is taking form, blocking out the light
You smile slightly, taking the reapers hand, you turn
Slowly walking away, So much I wish to say
Yet my emotions are choking me, and I can not
I utter the words, "You…Can't...Go!" it's too late
Words falling on deaf ears, you're not within range
Broken, I give in to say the words I never thought I'd say.
Good-Bye my friend, until we meet at Heavens Gate
