December

In the passing light
Silent and alone
Trying to make sense
A fate now set in stone
There's never enough time
Somehow it isn't fair
Sprinting towards the finish
Running out of air
When December ends
When December ends

At last, you will be free
Unbound from earthly plight
Unfettered by disease
When December ends
The pain disappears
Worries all behind you
No more suffering or fear
Everyday is pain
A dull narcotic haze
Brief moments of awareness

Losing track of days
The world seems so dim
As faculties decline
Your body, just a prison
To trap your mind inside
When the moment came
A tear fell from your eye
Your senses overwhelmed
A beauty undefied
