I Eagerly Await Your Embrace

When the vibrant colors have turned dull and gray

When the brilliant lights have turned dim and dreary

When the boisterous sounds have turned faint and noiseless

When the strong aromas have turned musty and stale

When the savory tangs have turned bland and tasteless

I eagerly await your embrace

When my eyes no longer see the dazzling beauty

When my ears no longer hear the mellifluous music

When my nose no longer smells the pleasant fragrances

When my tongue no longer tastes the rich flavors

When my heart no longer feels the warm emotions

I eagerly await your embrace

When the anticipation has turned into longing

When the pleasure has turned into pain

When the joy has turned into misery

When the hope has turned into despair

When the passion has turned into emptiness

I eagerly await your embrace

When the smiles have turned into scowls

When the grins have turned into grimaces 

When the laughter has turned into tears

When the giggles have turned into sniffles

When the chuckles have turned into sobs

I eagerly await your embrace

When the agony has become unbearable

When the distress has become unendurable

When the anguish has become insufferable

When the sorrow has become intolerable

When the desperation has become indescribable

I eagerly await your embrace

When the world has turned into a gloomy abyss

When my life no longer has a meaning or purpose

When my soul has long been dead and my mind has lost its will to live

When the idea of vanishing has become my fascination

When the thought of an eternal slumber has become my bliss

I eagerly await your embrace

Death oh sweet, sweet Death

My only friend in this lonely, desolate place

My sole companion in this empty, barren land
My single comrade in this cruel, wretched reality

Why have you not come for me yet?

I eagerly await your embrace
