    Death's dance

    There you go again 
      tapping on my door
        peeping in my windows
          cold, emotionless, and dark
            I don't know what summons you
              You creep up just when i'm feeling blue
                thinking i'm going give in .
    That stale stinch you drag around
     ceases my lungs in a pinching pound
       feeling no peace, serenity
         your lack of sympathy scares me
           i'd swear you stopped my heartbeat
             Your the only one no one can cheat..

    I told you , don't come around here no more
      stealing all the laughter and joy
        from each girl and boy
         Stop following me, checking my due date
           your gloom only frustrates
             sucking the love & peace from my walls
               pulling people till they fall

    Invisible to sight
     no running from your flight
       bland face, dark eyes
           sorrowful desparate cries
              get out! get out ! get out!
                I feverishly shout

    Hated by so many
     for collecting the lives of sinners
      haunting my future
        wait , wait I'm still not mature
          time waits for no man
            you wandered from your own clan
    Death your not welcome here
      your very presence brings fear
        suddenly losing the ability to steer
         color fading turning shades of sheer
           why isn't my path clear ?
    I run... you chase
     like it's a open close case
      terrified to look you in the face
       how did I loose the race?
         I stall, catch my breath, pick up the pace.
          still,  negotiating my sins to be erased..
