Oh, the thought of death

The memory of never seeing someone again

The image of their bodies in your head

Oh, that sick thought of death

How people crave it at the worst of times

How the world would one day be empty of you

Oh, how it fills the air

The rich smell of blood clouding around you

The way the smell follows its causer

Oh, the frequency

How often the world loses its carers

Each second someone goes

Oh, when it happens

When the world stops for that moment

The way it all seems to fade away

Oh, when it's just you

Standing still, waiting

Hoping for them to move

Oh, the dream

That they will wake

You'll see their smile for another day

Oh, the weakness

Clouding your judgement

Controlling your every thought
