I am afraid of you: Death.

I am afraid of you: Death.

Your unknown world of Darkness-

But when you come to take me from earth-

Please do not take me and treat me heartless.

I am afraid of you: Death.

Are you my friend?

Will you take me to the end?

Please do not without another attend.

 

I am afraid of you: Death.

Right now and here.

Inevitable when the time comes near-

Please be sincere, kind and ever so dear.

 

I am afraid of you: Death.

I hope at your arrival I am ready for you.

I want to learn how it is that I can love you.

I hope to find myself awaiting and welcoming you.

 

I am afraid of you: Death.

Or am I to be afraid of Life?

Are you partners in crime?

Or heavens angels divine?

 

I am afraid of you: Death.

What do you know that I do not?
That when you take my soul in a shot:
Will I lose or gain a victorious triumph spot?

I am afraid of you: Death.

Death, will you be afraid of me?

 

I am afraid of you: Death.

Show yourself.

Open up.
I want to see.

When Death says:
“Knock Knock

Open up
It’s Me”

 

I am afraid of you: Death.

What happens when I leave?
To everything that will be incomplete?

As in life, we all were born to eventually die.
Death is really not the end but a new beginning.
It's the fear of the unknown that makes death
so sinister..A great pondering piece !

[KimLove "The Beautiful ..]

All my life I was afraid of Death especially after my Grandmother passed. I use to have dreams of her afterwards and she was always telling me she was better now all was alright. This is what I believe now and when my time comes I will welcome it with open arms. My reason is this I believe when it's our time to pass our love ones who have gone before us choose one who means the most to us to come to us and help us cross over. I do not believe it is a journey we do alone, I also believe once we leave with that special one they take us to all the others.

This is a excellent poem very well written but you have nothing to fear, you will be welcomed with open arms. I know I said more then I should have but your poem seemed like such a large question that really needed an answer. I hope you can take something from all that I have written. : )

Death had one function. I believe we will have little choice. I like the questions and how you set-up the feel and emotion in your words. Last line answer is simple. When the game is over. It is done. Thank you for a excellent pom.
