I hear it
Down the hallway
Coming for me
Clatter
Yet I do nothing
But stare at a faceless wall
My mind in rage
Clang
I stare down
And I see Death
Staring back at me
Bang
Death approaching quickly
In my hands
And down the hallway
Boom
In two places it lies
Within my hands
And down that hallway
BAM
The only doorway
That separates Death
From me
BAM
Trembles beneath Its blows
So fierce
So strong
BAM
Death has come
For its prey
Cracks appear in the door
BAM
Death in my hands
Move closer to my soul
Against life It battles silently
BAM
Death in the doorway
Sends out its darkness
Against the door
BAM
And yet the door stands fast
And my soul holds free
Death has no place here
silence
