How to know a friend

I wait for death,

To give me new breathe

I long to die,

My last goodbye

Words are weak,

hallow and bleak

But actions are bold,

more precious than gold.

When death come by,

when the children cry

When all run in fear,

dreading what's near

Death will flee,

when he see's it's me

I will not die,

simply cease to coincide

And begin anew,

a life so true

And the life I knew,

so far, so stretched, but renewed 

Will whither and dust,

becoming my thrust

My reason for going,

without ever knowing

My hope for the past,

that it wont wither so fast

That those I've known,

Despite distances grown

Will remember who I am,

And will be there to stand

When I ask not to be alone,

they'll cast off their own

And a friend shall be named,

Contrary to the game

Now death will fear two,

and we'll both push through.
