The curse of life

“Care to join me for a kill?”

And I did till blood had seized to spill.

Thus, my conscience was killed.

“Care to feel the love of a woman?”

And I felt till love ended and sorrow had begun.

Thus, my heart was killed.

“Care to see heaven and hell?”

And I tripped till I understood everything too well.

Thus both my courage and hop were killed.

“Care to see death?”

‘And what is this I feel in my every breath?’

“That is life, the opposite of death.”

‘Then show me death! Give me death!’

Thus, my death was killed.

And I continued to live!

For this is the way I could see death,

While I was alive.
