He's Near

I see him on the street corner, Under the glare of the moon He waits patiently, casually, Knowing I’ll be home soon. I see him in my passenger seat, Coolly nodding to the beat. He gazes knowingly in my eyes, Life for him is no surprise. He grazes my hand as I cross the street, I pick up the pace, shuffling my feet. I can’t seem to escape my ultimate fate. Destiny is near and I have no fear. Only a secret yearning for his comforting arms, Death, dear, don’t leave me out here for too long.
