I hold my breath
You breathe your last
I wait for Death
To reap your past
You know he comes
Any moment now
You will succumb
The final bow
I hold you close
He intervenes
A darkened ghost
Your soul he gleans
Your final gasp
My sudden tears
A screaming rasp
Of all my fears
Death's excited
And changed his course
I've ignited
His inner force
He heard me whisper
Take me instead
It sounded crisper
In my head
A deal's a deal
All said and done
There's no appeal
Nowhere to run
A better prize
Right now for him
So no surprise
As my eyes dim
Sorry my love
I couldn't stay
I'm unworthy of
Life's night and day
A cowards way out you see
What was I to do?
You can live without me
But not I without you
