Deaths Shadow Poem by Melissa Patty

Death leave thy presence that lirks around
Of the silence that brings from the coldness of broken sound
Drowned in sorrow of a shattered heart
That's drifted away to forever being so far apart
Take away the pain I hold behold my weakened eyes
For nothing prepares you for the loss of a love one that dies
If only I could have one wish to make this all vansih and disappear
Through the downfall into a cold sorrowful atmosphere
Death leave and close the door
Just can't hold this emotion in anymore
Conceal and protect of thy pain
To help me through my days of strain
Death leaves the emptiness I hold
Is the broken tears I begin to unfold
Take thy hand to lead me through
Is that heaven has open its doors to you
Behind that starry sky
Lies deep in my mind questions why
In all that may come my way
Overshadow me from the darkest journeys each day
Is the pain I hold that ceases on
As I sing a farewell goodbye song
Death be gone from this moment I say
As I forever journey through life day by day
