Tempting Death

by

Sherene Delgado

I beckon you every night in my dreams
I think about you in my days
Yet you never come to me
I tempt you in every way I can
Yet it doesn't seem enough
I know your not my enemy
I know you wait
You wait until you think my time here is done
But I can't wait
The pain I've suffered is too much
The past is too clear for me to forget
I rather live a short life
Then suffer a long death
Each day I die a little
My body wasting away with each tear I shed
Tears for a lost childhood
Lost dreams...
Lost hope...
My lost of faith in the world and it's people
I have tried to be patient
I know you understand me
I just wish you would help me
I know my quest for freedom is selfish
But it's all I ask of you
