Death

I feel it draw so ever near
I hear it whisper in my ear
I feel it in my heart and soul
The darkness black as lumps of coal

Why continue feeling sorrow
Why live to see the next tomorrow
Why continue my worthless life
And live with feeling only strife

I have no reason to remain
I have no children or wife to claim
Yet I try to cling and stay
Until I fail and fall away

Into darkness I disappear
Never again to be seen or hear
