My Dance with Death

My dance with death

Is an odd masquerade

It lingers in silence

Portrays itself in chaos



I can hear the music

When no sound is being played

And if my heart skips a beat

The world acts as a carousel





My dance with death

Is a bloody tango

It shines its erie eyes

Half hidden in the light





I can feel my veins giving

Like strings on an ancient instrument

And if I stumble only a little

The shadows reach for my soul





My dance with death

Is a morbid circus act

It juggles the body parts

Leaving the heart to the lions.
