I am uninvited
But I do not need an invitation
I am here to hold you
I am here to love you
Your lovely breath
Your imperfect skin
Your defiant eyes
Your timid fingers
Your gasping mouth
I have taken everything of you
I have taken you into me
And transformed you
Into perfection
I have taken you out of you
I have taken you out of me
I have taken you into the dark
The dark comforts
And Holds
And Loves
And Transforms
I am Death
And I have loved you
As no one else has done
As no one else will ever
Let me hold you
Let me love you
Your last breath
Your fading skin
Your knowing eyes
Your limp fingers
Your smiling mouth…
The grin of Death is upon you
And we are so perfect for each other…
