Death for me is only a dream

Wishing that when the darkness comes

That I would not wake up in another body

In a life much like my first

But always in another timeline

With the same people

Just different paths to take every time

Though I may not be able to meet death

I feel a sadness that you fear yourself

You try as you might to find immortality

Yet I would give anything to be able to die

To be mortal
