Death

a poem by thenorm

I think my best friend’s Death

And Death’s best friend is me

‘Cause everyone I know is lost

In the Stygien Sea.

Well, he follows me around a lot,

Going to and fro

And Suicide seems the name

Of everyone I know.

It seems I have the touch of Death

And to say quite honestly,

For ones I know have tried or died,

All or them,save me.

Is this but my turn to call

Or Death goes to my friends?

Shall I stay in sweet sorrow

And Live the Bitter End?

Shadow me does Death, you see,

He comes for His Just Due.

But Death forgets my loyalty-

He’ll leave me, take You.
