Make all the pain stop take it all away, death shall come like a thief in the night, lucid, like a wayward friend. This heart thrust fourth a loneliness most could never fully fathom. Spiders weave their webs in midnight silhouette, an inconclusive rattling of time, eyes that echo a dawn, never seen. I held her within the weathered palm of my hand, for a brief moment of time, only to let her slip away.
