I got a call
a call from Hell
a call from Death
and this is what he said

"I'm coming soon
the time is near
are you enraged in anger
or hiding in fear
it doesn't matter to me
because Death is here"

I'm too frightened to think
to angry to speak
I want to stop him
before he is too near

I quickly reply
with a stutter in my voice

"Now you listen here
I may  be frightened
I may be weak
at all that you have done
but I will neve become undone
so you stay right there
Death does not belong here"

I hear the gasp
the shock he has never felt
I know he is scared
but when he replies
it's quick and sarcastic
with out any stutters

"Well lookky here
an emo who doesn't want to die
that must make you feel
like you can't succeed at anything"

I cut him off and yell

"Shut up Death
as if your any better
can't convice an emo
to end his own life"

And his reply
just as good as the last

" as of now I have failed
but I'll tell you this one day you will
want
need
to get away
and I'll smile and say
'would you like a knife or some pills'"

As his ranting countiuns
I fight to ignore
every thought that is there
that he tries to make me believe
and I yell at him
scream my head off at him

"Listen up Mr.Death
I'm sick of your words
your sayings
your lies
your truths
I don't want to listen
if you want me dead take my inside
cause all I really am
is an empty shell"

"If the Grim Reaper wants me dead
he'll have to reap me himself
cause I shall not kill myself
for him
for anyone else
and if I do
then these words are wrong"

And I can sense
that he smilies with glee
as he says those last parting
goodbye words

"I want so much more
but I guess this will suffice
I mean after all what's more then life
other than your ability to live
and with your and your heart
your mind is mine too
so goodbye for now
and to you
I'll see you soon"

And the click of the phone as the line goes dead

dead
that word repeats
over and over in my head
dead
dead
dead

Is that what I am
with nothing inside
