It comes in your sleep,
…when you wake.
It comes when you're active,
…when you're secure.

It often comes as a surprise,
…a sudden surprise.
It can be quicker than the blink of an eye,
…or a painfull and slow scene.
It can be as innocent as a deep sleep,
…or a twisted and violent act.

Many fear it,
…others welcome it.
Humanity tries to stop it,
…only a short stall, a short wait.

It may come to sweep your loved ones;
…leaving you alone in despair, all alone.
But keep this in mind:
…you could be next…
