Life asked death
“Why do people love me
but hate you?”
Death responded
“Because
You’re the pain
everybody feels
but finds
a way to hide
in
plain sight
You show people
the way
You give them hope
when there’s nothing to
hope for
you light their soul
until I unveil
what is behind the mirror
An anti-reality
A godly infection of sorts
I am the truth
everybody wants to ignore
but can’t
In the end
our life’s rationalities
burn away
in the bottomless pit of
your soul-crushing trench
you reach a point
of no return
the absolute end
where time
and space meet
And then you
realize
time is the most valuable
quality
of life”
