Untitled

No matter how many times,
No matter how far or close,
Old or young
Nothing can prepare you for the shock of death.
Nothing is a clear a cut,
As instant,
Or as severe as death.
It is a sudden void
That no amount of tears can fill.
It is a pain
That no pain killer can kill.
Death is our biggest enemy
Whether Christian or Atheist
It does to everyone
Exactly the same.
Death is not my friend,
Nor is it my ally
But the pain that wakes me up at night.
And yet, death has visited again.
