Death

I am dyeing
I can feel it
My life has gone away
I can not wake each morning
or face another day

I am alone
I am afraid
I am sad beyond belief
sometimes it feels like suicide
would be a great relief

The hours pass
The days go by
but all is stopped for me
The day is best
The day is good
when I am fast asleep

The children play outside each day
within the warm sunshine
I wonder if their life will end
the  same sad way as mine

I tried my best to follow rules
to be an honest girl
But all I've done has been in vain
It's best to leave this world

"Now I lay me down to sleep"
I said when I was young
But they're just words
don't mean a thing
'cause God is not among

It's time for me to say good-bye
Goodnight to all I've loved
I'll leave this world
I'll dance in death
I'll sing among the doves
