When all hope is lost The will to live becomes the wish to die. But love conquers all, even this. My Subtle Death The eyes of darkness grasp my breath And usher in my subtle death. The moment life begins it ends; A bitter and most certain trend. The time of days extends to years And muddies dreams that once were clear. The dagger of my days is thrust And sadness settles in like dust. The steady ticking of the clocks Like pebbles turning into rocks. The weight of years has bent my stance; No hope of any second chance. But yet the glimmer in your eye Now comforts as I wait to die. A weakened glow grows in my chest; Disturbs my need for final rest. The moment that I saw your face My hope rose up and won the chase. My gasping breath became the sigh That lifts the rock from where I lie. Who would have thought my pain would lift Or darkened eyes would close and drift. The weight of time now lifts like wind And fills my sails youre blowing in. Once life had choked and grasped my breath. My stagnate life awaited death. But now I grasp the hands of time. My subtle death chose to resign. CA Roberts 02.11.14 Thank you for the inspiration Temmy Phil
