Hello Death - can we talk

Death I’m tired 

You’ve been camped at our door for so long now
Could it not be someone else’s turn … please

It’s not that we don’t understand you
although sometimes you make no sense
It’s not necessarily that we are afraid of you
nor that we don’t expect you to be there

But this time, just like the last time, we weren’t expecting you
​​How do you decide ?

I know you are infinitely patient … could you wait just a little longer for the next time ... please 

we’re all just so tired right now 

In memory of our cousin, who lived his life fully & in a truly positive way. 

RIP Bernie xxx
