“Death”

(Villanelle)

​

1. Death is just another word for eternal sleep

2. Life is our longest journey, but in the end we all die

3. And if we are dead, in no way can we weep

 

4. Most times we don’t realize, our life can end in one sweep

5. And when a life ends, we can’t help but to cry

6. Death is just another word for eternal sleep

 

7. When you die it’s like sleeping except without counting sheep

8. When someone dies, the last thing you want to do is say goodbye

9. If we ourselves our dead, in no way can we weep

 

10. Your life goes by like an adventurous ride in a jeep

11. You ride down the hill called life where you are always sky high

12. And you end everyday with a good night’s sleep

 

13. The package of life comes with risks but you must take that leap

14. Make the most of your life, you can’t let it to waste, don’t be that guy

15. Even if you know it’ll soon come to an end, don’t weep

 

16. Don’t live a life of regrets, those water go deep

17. Don’t make your life a living lie

18. Death is another word for eternal sleep

19. And if we are dead, in no way can we weep
