A Quietus

I stalk death but it escapes me once again
ever do I try to capture her but she flees me
"now is not your time" I hear her call
but again I seek her
pouring from me down the drain
she come close but never stays
to linger would be to strip it of its humanity
run, run
the only thing stopping our union
is a this peice of steel
some days I long for you
others I put you from my mind
I have nothing to offer you
and from you I gain relief
joy withour sorrow
pleasure without pain
bliss without agony
I join with her and am released
