Life End

A velvet darkness ... Too dark to see
A deep silence ... Too quiet to hear
A killing pain ... Too quick to feel
A loving heart ... Too lonely to beat.

Gentle hands ... To soothe my pain
Strong arms ... To hold me close
Quiet voice ... To comfort me
Loving words ... To a devoted soul.

The end of my life ... Held close in your arms
Your love around me ... Its glow filling my soul
As Death claims me quietly ...From your arms to his
And a whispered farewell ... with one last kiss.
