[Lonely Poet]: 442.top index.Death's Door

Death's Door

Blood flows and Darkness sets in
Thinking thoughts from deep within
Lying there on the threshold
Bleeding out, your body is cold
Shivering and shuddering in deep despair
Crying and yelling that it's just not fair
Holding your breath against the pain
Thinking of how nothing will remain the same
As the Raven comes to take you away
The Raven will look upon you and say
"Take a look upon thine own self
And look upon thy future."
Your death is the future
And your future iis at Death's door
And as Poe wrote
"Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore.'"
