Death is courting me
he wants me to go,
to a place that only
he truly knows,
he woos me and invites me
to trade my sorrow and woe,
to escape to a place
where only the dead go.
he wants me to think
that he knows the way,
to a better place
so why should I stay?
on earth with so much
heartache and pain,
yet if I go I'll not
see loved ones again.
he's trying to rush me
to hurry along,
it makes me fearful
that something is wrong,
he's pressuring me to leave
and says that I must,
but I'm not so sure death
is someone to trust.
