\u201cOh, Sweet Death\u201d<\/p>\n
Watching, waiting<\/p>\n
In the dark, we\u2019re staying<\/p>\n
You\u2019re kind and gentle<\/p>\n
And often misunderstood.<\/p>\n
You\u2018re feared and not always fair,<\/p>\n
so it feels.<\/p>\n
Your hands are icy cold<\/p>\n
with a strong iron-cast grip.<\/p>\n
Once you grab, you don\u2019t let go.<\/p>\n
Your eyes are piercing<\/p>\n
seeing into my very soul<\/p>\n
already knowing where I\u2019m going.<\/p>\n
Please hold my hand<\/p>\n
as you suck my last breathe of life away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
