Analysis of When the End is Here



As death approaches with a calm autumn breeze that makes my bones cold.
Numbness in my fingers that can't be denied.
As my sight is obscured by the subtlety of a sunset, eternal darkness starts.
Death brings a nothingness that I will never understand, because without awareness, I will not even know that I am gone..
