A Bit of Death

I want to feel a bit of death,

adventure searing through my veins,

I want to feel on the edge,

of a black hole without a bottom,

one slight blow pushing me over,

I want to feel a bit of death,

the bitterness and irony of it all,

Sour or worse than a lemon, rotten,

I want to hear a bit of death,

whispering in my ear,

knocking lightly upon my door,

I want to feel a bit of death,

Simply for a thrill,

the thrill of curiosity.
