Death - No emoticon needed

Death is a villain

that we can not stave away

attempt as we will

and

Blood becomes viscous

when it's dead and motionless

til it's dried complete

but

Caskets were not meant

to become the new homes of

the lives we once knew

and

Flesh will most times rot

when the life has gone from it

if given the chance

but

Pain does not always

follow a death unless it

somehow affects you

and

Hoping for heaven

helps the unsure with relief

when nothing is left

but

Tree roots cut in half

are always the result of

a grave in the woods

and

The heart is a pump

whose job is done when it stops

working on its own

but

Petals on the floor

can't be prevented even

at the florists wake
