Not Tonight, Angel of Death

I want to but can't sleep

Don't stop to toss and turn

Insanity's hard to keep

When life's one big burn

From left side to right

I try to find peace

But my bed has no sight

Of my real life's crease

Somebody is there

I feel behind my back

my body tenses in fear

Turning to a man in black

Before I could scream

He spreads out a wing

Is this all a bad dream?

What IS this weird thing?

It covers my dry lips

And tells me to hush

my nerves feel like whips

A helpless adrenaline rush

"Where are you from?

What is it you need?

Why have you come?

Who's call do you heed?"

"You called when you pray

I'm the Angel of Death 

You said you couldn't stay

Even for your little Seth

I answered your calling

Though I tried to ignore

But I couldn't keep stalling

I just couldn't anymore

"But it'll be really fast 

Just hold onto me

For your moments' last

And you'll finally be free"

"But wait! No! No! No!

This is a big mistake!

I don't want to go!

This is my choice to make!"

"But I wouldn't be here

If not for your voice

Was it facing death's stare?

That changed your choice?"

"I know I had much pain

And I had no easy life

But there's no big gain

For ending early the strife

And yes I did have grief

But I also did have love

Seth- my all new leaf

My son, my little dove

I cannot just abandon

Like done by his dad

I must raise my son

Teach him good from bad

Though life's is no fairytale 

But blinded by much s**t

We must try though we fail

We don't and won't ever quit

So Angel, please leave now

Sorry for the false call

But to you I make this vow

I'll forever give it my all
