The Life or Death Situation

Life without Death
This may sound freeing
But Death is the only thing
Life will end up being
Life was swept off their feet
In a way that took away their breath
When asked what this sensation was
The stranger replied Death
Some believe to die is the opposite of living
Because they fail to realize that Life
Is not a gift that keeps on giving
Your mind, body and soul is what Life gives you to start
But you only get to rent these things till Death do you part
To live is the beginning and to die is the end
Life often deals you things only Death can mend
You can take the wound by the handle
And remove the emotional knife
You can have that gone along with all the strife
But the one thing you can’t have
Is Death without Life
Life and Death
Interested after their first greeting
Decided that they should keep on meeting
One day, Life got the idea to make the Dinosaur
They were enormous with wings, claws, and so much more
Once, two large ones with arms so short
Decided to attack their creator, Life, for sport
Death saw that these monsters made Life cry
So Death put one finger to the ground
Causing all the dinosaurs to die
Life was so grateful for what Death had done
This is when Life and Death became one
Life decided to create a flower for Death
Bursting with vibrant color on every side
But when Death went and picked it
It shriveled up and died
Life was hurt but said it was okay
Life made more the very next day
With each passing year their relationship strives
Until the day Life creates the human who has
jobs, and full names, some even had wives
These didn’t harm Life like the others did
So Life loved every adult and kid
Life enjoyed watching them strive
Wanting them to forever stay alive
Death tried to warn Life that this would end badly
But Life was in love with these humans, quite madly
When resources and space were depleting
Death decided to make hearts stop beating
It was a sight Life couldn’t believe
Life wanted badly for Death to just leave
The thought of Life’s creations dying
Left Life feeling so forlorn
That Life had banished Death
And their bond was torn
Life without Death
To be frank, would suck
This theory was proven when
One day tragedy struck
Lives all over the place
So much Life, but no more space
The idea of eternal Life turned to woe
Life then decided that some lives had to go
This was not a job that Life knew how to do
But the world was crumbling as immortal lives grew
Life knew it was time to admit defeat
Because without Death, Life is not complete
So Life said unto Death, I have a gift for you
I’ll allow you to take lives, In the way that you do
Death took some lives
But he felt a love for the souls
The souls so pure and true
That after he took them, he’d send them back
To be reborn and live a Life anew
The cycle continued as a game they’d play
Forever people live and die each day
Death without Life
Will not set you free
For Life is just the thing
Death used to be
Once Death decided to sweep someone off their feet
Death felt something that seemed to melt away their strife
When asked what this sensation was
The stranger replied Life
Some believe to live is the opposite of dying
Because they fail to realize that
Death is the only way to stop Life’s crying
Your mind, body and soul were leased the day your Life begun
You must return these things to Death once you are done
Life is the starting point and the destination is to die
Death dries your tears when Life makes you cry
You can remove your emotional knife to let your wound bleed out
Along with the blood you can get rid of all the doubt
You can have your last words gone with your final breath
But the one thing you can’t have
Is Life without Death

Hi Yazzie - welcome to ABC
Hi Yazzie - welcome to ABC Tales!
Some lovely ideas and images in this. We do indeed just rent our time. I particularly liked the way the last line of the final verse echoed the last line of the first, emphasising the cyclical nature of things.
Looking foward to reading more of your work on here!
