Death

I hear the man in the deep calling.

I tried to run, but the edge was too steep,

I kept falling.

The top of the hill seemed so far away.

I dreamed of it, all of my living days.

Be he was close behind me.

I knew I couldn't hide.

For he would find me.

I had to run to stay alive.

In my head, he was, deep inside.

Feeding my mind deep twisted lies.

I got on my knees and started to pray.

He said, “Death could come in so many ways.”

I swung at him with all my might.

He laughed for he knew it was an easy fight.

But he left me nothing but deceit.

Holding me in time, and I could not weep.

He said, “You will live to fight anther day.”

I asked, “Didn't you come for me tonight?”

He said, “No child, shut your eyes and everything will be all right.”

I closed my eyes and longed for light.

I opened them, he was gone.

Surely everything was all right.
