Death

I despise Death
Just hearing it makes me weep
I'm waiting for him to knock me off my feet,
As i sit around wondering when its my turn
Instead of playing with my peers
Death, he's trying to earn 
What i haven't got, a heartbeat
He's got me now, im gone
No longer gone, emotions evaporated 
It's a world of fear, a world of darkness
darkness with no air
If only i could be set free
But Death has a hold on me

Just a topic or is there a problem? Death be it the actual stop breathing death or life dying from stagnation or something else is horrible also. Keep writing. Sara
