Life and Death. And love.

You know deaths side of the story. But do you know Life’s side of it?

A poem.

I will write second. But only because you deserve it.

I wish you knew how much you meant to me,

But all you ever do is ruin things with your greed.

Taking what is precious

What is living

And smothering it in what you think is me.

I wish I could see you in all that darkness,

Although sometimes the best things remain unseen.

At large I can still sense your presence

Your pain.

Your greed for whatever is life,

Will kill you,

And me.

In the moment of such

I believe I will finally see you

My light cannot bring justice to your soul

But it can reveal you in all your might

In the last second our love is loose

As you do with all of the life I have

Myself will become nothing but you

Just as you wished.

But just before love ruins us wrong,

I will see your face.

The beauty you hid for so long.

Your limp body drifting through space

Longing for my soul,

looking,

But looking forever in the wrong place.

Description on the story,

This is her side of the love story. I say her because I envision life as a beautiful and bright women, and death as a big, strong and sad man.

As a conclusion to the story, if you struggled to understand their love. Both of their duties, one being to bring life to the world and one to bring death to it, ended up killing them both. Because without life, there is no such thing as death.

And without love, there is no such thing as life.
