One Kiss from Azrael

I could never have lasted as long
With all of my hope now gone
I felt the force of your mind
In such great communion
Your spirit pulsing within
Revealing a perfect union
I watched helplessly, wounded
As you aged, wearied, died
Watching the aftermath
I remained worried
You never contemplated suicide
There's nothing I can offer
But invitation to wrath
Your suffering so deep
I can't stop your pain
But that is not what you seek
How could you do it
Escaping Azrael's kiss
How can one live without fear
Rising from eternity's mists
Alive again, wet from rebirth
The world will live
Our spirit will rise
Forever revealed
Awash in majesty
And manifest worth
