Dear Death

Dear Death,
I wonder when we will meet?
When I'll take my final breath,
When I'll finally meet defeat.

I'm curious to know you,
Yet not curious enough.
This world is a zoo,
And life has been tough.

I wonder what day It will be?
If there will be rain or shine.
For the day you come for me.
And Death will be mine.

Will you take me silently?
Or will you make me cry?
Will I accept you Death?
Or will I not want to die?

Would you do it in my sleep?
When I wont know you came.
Or will you embrace my curiosity?
And call me by name.

Will you take me to the top?
Or will you drag me down below?
Dear Death...
How am I to know?

Will you give me a clue?
Tell me I have one day left.
Or will you capture me abruptly?
And take me in untimely theft.

Will you take me in blood?
Or will you consume me from within?
I'm curious to know Death?
When will you begin?

Will it be slow?
In the form of Cancer perhaps?
Or will it be something to grow?
Like a Tumor that can collapse.

Will you fill out your persona?
Or will you be invisible to my eye?
So that I don't know you are there,
On that very moment I die.

Will you show me my life?
Will it flash before my eyes?
Will I remember all the strife?
Will I relive all those cries?

Or will you show me the happy?
For a false security before I go,
So I don't turn sappy,
So sadness isn't something I know.

Are you there Death?
I'm talking to you directly this time.
I'm tired of asking God these questions.
I'm done listening to a mime.

Your my final turn,
At a road that is only straight,
Are you there Death?
Will you tell me the date?

Dammit I want to know,
I want to know my fate,
Are you there Death?
Please tell me I'm not too late.

But now isn't the time Death,
I'm not yet ready to go,
But until that day Death
I just wanted to let you know.

That I'm waiting for you Death,
I know you'll come sometime soon.
And until that day Death,
I'll ponder toward the moon.

Dear Death...

I know this is rather strange, especially since I don't usually write such "dark" poems I suppose, But I must say I enjoyed writing this one. And no I'm not going to kill myself this was just an expressive piece.
*also I would really appreciate votes and comments on this, I will return the favor.
