Safe with Death

Push and shove,

Down the stairs,

Woke up not here,

Far far away.

A whisper to me,

Husky and strong,

You're perfect,

So beautiful.

He sang to me,

Held me close,

Bandaged my head,

Said goodbye.

Told me,

It wasn't time,

But asked,

If I wanted to stay.

I said sorry,

I cannot,

So he sent me away,

Back here...

But before I left,

He told me,

He would wait,

Excited for my return.

I cannot ignore,

That I await my return,

To that voice,

The one that healed me.
