Death Keeps Knocking

Death stands knocking at my door "Go away" I scream, "Go away" But he chooses only to ignore And not listen to what I say He keeps peering through my windows Looking for a way, to enter in While making subtle innuendos About the kind of person I've been Ever knocking, he will not leave Trying to get my attention His subliminal messages I receive That tells of his evil intention I keep hearing him knocking, every hour He will not let me sleep Holding me captive, with his evil power Ever chasing my soul to reap Knocking, knocking, knocking His cadence is driving me mad My fear, he's continuously mocking Envading what dreams I've had Then his knocking suddenly disappears As silence now rings in my head Maddness has overtaken my fears Or death has won, and I'm dead

Scary and chilling. Tragic but very well written.
