Hush now, my little one
No more tears
I have found you

Hush, my fragile one
I embrace you,
and make the pain go away
No more hurt in my arms

Shhh... stop screaming
Oh precious one
it's alright
I'll make it all stop,
they won't harm you anymore,
now that I have you

Hush, relax, exhausted one
Close your eyes and finally rest
I am Death
and I found you
I embraced you
This is something I've written years ago, and I kept having a love/hate relationship with it. Part of me feels it's a silly angsty-teenager shitty poem. Part of me keeps being proud of it.
I've been thinking about perhaps drawing something based on this poem. Who knows.

I felt like re-posting this again.

as I read I felt a growing shiver run down my neck to my back.. Then suddenly a rush of warmth.. I thought it was leading me to think a mother was growing angry at a child for being fussy, colicky or just scared and then it suddenly softened in tone.. I relaxed as it said, I was exhausted. Then when I realized it was death's embrace I shuddered when I realized I agreed..

Exactly what writing is sposed to do.. bring the reader on a journey either to where you take them or where they take it. It takes guts to share this kind of depth of yourself in hopes someone might relate to it or even more so have the guts to comment honestly on it. It is beautiful.. It is scary..

Thank you for sharing this.
