Death
For the longest time
I hated Death
Yet not from anger
But from fear
I feared
His chilling breath
The whisper-stitched cloak
The dagger-like scythe
Though now
I no longer fear
He is but a friend
Waiting for my time
To join him
On the other side
To the next chapter
The chapter in which
We could be free
Free from pain
Free from the torture
The battle of life
We must endure
He is but a friend
Not a foe
A quiet companion
Not a waiting predator
Death
