Death's Embrace

I've been stuck in a lucid dream

I can barely breath

As the oxygen starts to leave

My body is floating and fighting

It feels like lightning

As my lungs are gasping for life

I feel a sharp pain of agony

As my blood turns cold, I feel warm

I do not know who I am

I do not know where I am

I wish that I could wake up

Cause my heart keeps pounding

Faster and faster it goes

My mind goes blank, and I feel like I'm drowning

Down, down, spiraling down

I feel dizzy though I'm on solid ground

Wish, waiting, hoping

I clutch my chest begging for escape

Is this the end

As the blood rushes from my head

I feel the sinking feeling

Its rushing and brimming with beauty

As I feel the abysmal agony

I can't go on I say

As the fog starts to drift slowly in

Thicker and thicker it flows

Endlessly and relentlessly

Did I find my heavenly release

Or the did I find the deepest confines of hell

When I wake

I ponder these questions

Was it all real or was it just a dream

I look out my window

With a transfixed gaze of horror

My soul is slowly being sucked away

It wasn't a dream so much as it was the reality

I wanted to struggle, and I tried to fight

But I finally gave up and jumped

I jumped into Death's stretched out arms

It had no substance it had no life

I couldn't see the ground and

I couldn't see the light

All was dark, and life was life

Death was sweet and kind

To the beggar man that died

Searching for the beauty

In a life that was never his own
