Death

Death

A Poem by Sarah J Dhue

Who am I?
The answer may make you cry.

I am the hands around your throat
I am the bomb placed on the boat
After the gun is shot, I am why your ears are ringing
The choir around the grave singing
I am the blood trickling down your chest
I'm who made the black widow's nest
I am the poison that enters your vein
I am the tears that fall like rain
I am the knife stabbing you in the back
I am the darkness when everything goes black
I am the surgeon's mistaken hand
I am the smack! as you fall to the land
I'm the falling blade of the guillotine
I am the straight line in the heart monitor screen
I am disease and decay
I am why your hair turns gray
I am the piercing sword
I am the end of your world
I am the vehicle that with you collides
I am the reason that all of them cried
I am the train crash
I am the sound of the knife's final slash
I'm the churchbell that chimes
I am all the committed crimes
I am the noose at the gallows
I am the piranha in the shallows
I am your last breath
I am Death
