Death knocks on my door.

by Shay   Jan 15, 2009


Death knocks on my door, and says you are not the one I am looking for..
Please don't take away his smile, let him stay with me only for a while.
It is his time, he has to come with me.
Please don't take him, without him I wouldn't know who to be.
I see someone, a shadow beneath the door..
It's not him, he's not here anymore.
I know he's here, you have to stop pretending.
You don't understand, he's my life, he is my everything, all about him is worth defending.
Please you can take me instead, without him my life would be done.
I couldn't take you, you are not the one.
If you take him, I won't know how to live, I won't know how to breathe..
If you don't surrender him to me, then I cannot leave.
Let me through, I promise not to hurt you, I just have to take care what I came here to do.
You can't just take his life away..
One day you two will be reunited, but just not today.
I hear a shot, I believe it's a gun..
No, it can't be I'm already here, and he is the chosen one.
I open the door, to find blood on the ground.. a strange sadness, and depression falls all around.
By his body I read a note.. this is what his heart had spoke..
Love, I'm sorry about what you'll have to see.. but I have a feeling that death will soon take you away from me. If that ever happens I wouldn't know what to do , and in some small way this is showing how much I'm really in love with you. I've had these strange dreams every night, that you will soon have a heart attack, but your healthy as can be.. something just isn't right. I heard death knock at the door, and I realized that it's you that he came here for.
You must understand, there is no me without a you.. and if you have to die, then I die too. In every way we are almost the same, I wouldn't doubt it if death says that I am the one who he is here to claim. It's not right though.. see it wasn't my time.. I thought if I killed myself that would mess up death's design. I hope I didn't fail, I hope I saved a life, and the sad part about this all, was in about an hour I would have asked you to be my wife.

I couldn't stop thinking, I kept glaring at his dead hands that held the gun.. and I knew the words he spoke were true.. I knew I was really the one.
How can this happen, How can this be true? If he is already dead I must have come here for you.
I felt my heart grow slow.. with all of these memories in my head that I'll soon have to let go.
I fall to my knees, and I look at death's face.. I say very softly "I am now ready to leave this place."
