Lady Death

lady death lies in wait, not where you expect to find her
She is diabolical, sneaky, and determined
coming to get you in one big bang
one minute you are here, the next minute not so much

sure, if she is in agreement with cancer, you might get a warning
but more often, you will get no warning at all
lady death can get you at any time
any place, any way

when you least expect it,
bam
you are gone

here one minute
gone the next

it is her trick
and she is good at it
