Don't be afraid of death.
He is tender and warm,
like a Beef Wellington,
served with a tankard of ale
in a country pub.
All you have to do
is take the first bite.

Thank you, Billy. I was afraid you might savage this one, as I wasn't sure if it was any good, so your comment really eases me.

Oh no, I wasn't criticising your honesty at all; on the contrary, I respect your critques more than most because you treat me like an artist, and not a figure of pity or a soul mate haha.
I was worried about your response to this one because I thought it might have shades of "paper planes," as, like that piece, it was inspired by another writer.
