To Jennifer Waller's previous piece

Lover

I shared my bed with death for years,
Welcoming it every night.
Holding it in my arms
Caressing it's cold body
covering it with gentle kisses.
It's turned it's back on me now.
And left me alone to live,
to live alone.

Life is my lover now.
And it's swallowed me up -
And everyday, it beats me a little
And prepares me for when
I go running back
Into the arms of Death.

Death, my true love, 
take me back.
Let me find solace 
In you stiff arms.
Hold me and sing to me
of the creul ways of Life
and convince me 
that with you 
is where i belong.

But don't over estimate your power
Life loves me too and he'll always
take me back.
I'm not afraid 
of you any longer.
I have the power now.
And you never could make me come.
