Death's Love

If I were to die I would want to see an angel beforehand.
Death’s love is nothing spectacular
Just someone to hold my hand
An angel of beauty and galore
That all the animals adore
If I were to die I would want to see an angel      
                            Beforehand.

             Death’s love is Something spectacular
            Just someone to move my hand
           An angel of malevolence and galore
             That all the rodents hated before
            If I were to die, why would I want to see an angel beforehand?

 Death’s love is someone to tease me
         Someone to love me
          Death’s love is all confusing
          Close the door.
          Slam and shut.
       If I were to die, I still would want to see an angel 
                            Beforehand.

                   Beauty, mutiny
                  Does not matter
               As I sat near the platter
              So many choices
          So many voices
     If I were to die I would want to see an angel
          Beforehand

    Banning deaths love
 Might be the way I can understand
So you can see the eyes of what you have not seen
You never saw it
But you know it's as bright as the light behind my eyes.
As I’m about to die.
Death’s love they call it 
Is something that never flies.
It only falls 
Up to the sky
