Death Anxiety

My life is littered with death

There are bodies everywhere

Their souls surround me in memories I cling to dearly

Like a rope hanging off an edge of a cliff

I cling

grasping

Trying to remember the ceases on their face

The sound of their voices

The love they gave me

Haunted by the idea that one day it will be my turn

That I will be a rotting piece of flesh

Or ashes spread to dust

Wind taking pieces of me to the ocean where I will be mixed with water and dirt

My soul lost to eternity

Will you cling to memories of me

Knowing my love surrounds you

Is there purpose to my existence

Other than the empty bottles on my floor

And the mess I have made

Do I live for something

My days are numbered

I am awaiting

Trying to make meaning

Of my life

With that voice inside my head

Screaming Who is next?

God tell me who is next?
