Fear of Death

Do you feel that feeling; nudging, prying?
In the corridors of your subconcious; waiting, lying.
The black truth hidden away behind your mind,
But all dark truths are brought to light in time.

It slithers, it crawls, at the edge of your sight.
The feeling of imprisonement, the oncoming night.
What lurks behind your masked eyes?
Your ignorant truths turn out to be lies.

Take apart the thoughts within your scattered brain,
But you're too afraid to face what's too insane.
For fear silences all rational thoughts,
And the mouth ignores what the brain was taught.

But the dark you keep at bay inside,
Will have it's way and day with pride.
You will not see the sunset coming,
You will not think to flee, there will be no running.

For death awaits us all at the brink,
And this is of something, we would rather not think.
We fill our lives with the intrusion of light,
To erase the thought of our inevitable night.
