Death Sweet Death

Death sweet death, 
the visitor, 
dark color at my door.
I'm hesitant to answer, 
for what I fears in store.
With you I shall play hide and seek, 
so knock forever more.
There are worse for you to take, 
please leave me, 
I implore.
I know what life has got to give, 
I know of pain and sorrow.
I do not know what you shall bring, 
to payments for my borrow.
You seem so dark to dark to read, 
a shadow for the grave.
Death sweet death, 
leave me to live, 
whats lost for if I stay? 
saint cynosure ( Ken Bennight )
