Analysis of If not death?



Who is he,
If not death?
Who is he?
Why does he want me?

Only death wants me,
Only death loves me,
Only death embraces me,
I have so many friends yet,
I feel alone in this world.

I wish there would be someone,
Someone who wants me,
Someone who loves me,
Someone who embraces me,
Someone other than death.

Who is she?
The one who wants me?
Who is she,
If not death?
Is she infact,real?

Because I can't believe,
There would be someone else,
Other than death,
Who would want me.

I feel so alone.
So alone,
With my distractions.
With no one to comfort me,
Other than death.

Who are they?
The one who wants me?
If not death?
Are they in this universe?
Or are they a fragment of my imagination?

So I call upon that someone,
If they are,
Infact someone other than death,
I call upon them and say,
Please.

Please dont be a fragment of my imagination.
Please want me.
Please love me.
Please embrace me.
Please be someone other than death.
