Oh Death

oh death
where art thou
in the cold cold wind
or the breaking bough

do you sit
on my chest
does your name
stain my tongue
will i feel
in my heart
your dark plan
when i’m done

oh death
shall you come
as a clear blue sky
or exploding sun

oh death
oh death be true
be thou clean as the blade
not the poisoned brew

in that moment
of truth
as my breath
steals away
do take care
of my love
all i ask
fore to stay

all i ask
fore to stay
