Death is constant; Death is damned.
Death is a friend who offers unwavering comfort.
It may be a bit strange; it may be a bit mad
To befriend Death; when it's too tragic, too permanent, too sad.
Death is familiar. Death I’ve always known.
You could say it never leaves me alone.
It's somewhat of a promise of an ending
That brings one at peace that's never-ending.
Death, have mercy, take me before I rot
In this world that takes away the light of my thoughts.
Death, visit me when you need me; I don’t even need to be ready.
I’ve always known I’ll come to you, for you are my destiny.
Death, I have faith in you; you’re my only hope.
Maybe I’ll see you in a year or two,
Please, don’t take too long.

- Comment from author about the poem: Death is not a stranger. Death is a friend. Death is not frightening; it is not the end. Don't run away; it's all a dead end. Greet Death like an old friend instead.

I have always seen death as a friend and a kind one that gives peace and takes away pain. Nicely written
Everyone gets their ticket punched sooner or later…great poem and great pic, reminds me of the cover of one of the albums by Nightwish!
Nicely done
