death....
what a beautiful thought
like a partner's sweet embrace
like the brush of their lips against your skin

death...
what a reassurance
things can't get worse if you're dead
and you can't be anxious from the grave

death...
what a comfort
like a parent saying it'll all be okay
like a kiss on the forehead when you've had a bad day

death...
what an amazing concept
to think, how fragile a life can be
how easily a life can be ended

death...
what a mercy
what an escape
what a savior
