Death
I ran.
Hiding between the sheets.
Between shadows of light,
of words,
of hope,
of fear.
I prayed.
There is no where to run.
There is no where to go.
Not under my Sun.
He finally said.
Let me be.
Let me stay.
For one more day.
Pleeeease.
I cried.
There is no escape.
Not from me.
No place to be,
that I do not see
Can’t you see?
Can’t you hear?
cries of my children,
wails of women,
lies of men so dear?
A sound I heard
time and time again.
On every step,
of every door.
What do you want from me?
What have I done to thee?
You mean nothing to me
You did nothing to me
Look up at the sky.
What do you see?
I see drops of rain.
I see the Moon.
I see the stars.
I see places,
I’d rather be.
Each a soul
who once have asked
that same of me.
Leave me to dream
and a new day to see.
I’m still not ready.
I still have words
I want to say.
I still have kisses
I have not cast.
Games,
I have not played.
Alas
Time has passed.
Others await,
to ascend your stage.
To continue
with love and hate.
For I am Death,
and your date
is due.

I don’t normally read or like poems. Too much for my brain cells to interpret but I love this. I love how you’re still here as well. Stay pls? Forever?

Death to the old stubborn thoughts I certainly agree with alone. A change in mindset as the murdered bastard meets his end. In his place is someone refined by fire that lights in my eyes and the whip in my hands that gives life new meaning. Stripes of red remind you of the life that flows through your universe. The longest night and darkest of days expires and the tide will change like the burning through your veins.
