The Question
Dahlia Pena

Death is at your door.
Do you answer it, knowing
He's not there for you but to tell you
Your best friend is giving herself to
Him? Knowing that if you open
That door to the knowledge, you
Will be denying yourself favor in
His sight. But yet, you want to
Know if that's really what He's
Going to say; or if He's really
Coming for you. The knowledge is
Too great, so you open the door.
What do you see? The hood over
Death's face is removed. All you see
Is yourself in the mirror over the
Bathroom sink as you look at
Yourself one last time. Just to see
How pitiful you've become to
Leave your friends by themselves
To fend without you. To learn to
Live without their best friend. Do
You open the door and deny the
Knowledge that you killed your
Best friend or invite Death into
Your home to sacrifice yourself
More than willingly or do you
Stand there and listen to Him as He
Explains that it's too late for her
And not late enough for you? And
That either way you lose. As the red
Flows to the ground have you
Decided which road to to take or are
You still just opening the door with
The chain on it?
