Death Whispers in My Ear

By: Rebecca Davis

Death whispers in my ear.

I face him,

With no fear.

We both know it’s time to go.

I look back,

To say goodbye,

And then we leave,

Death and I.

I don’t feel sad.

There is no need.

I don’t feel mad.

Just cold numbness.

I promise you it’s not a lie.

And then we go,

Death and I.

I love you all.

You know it’s true.

But everyone, answers to Death’s call.

Oh well, I guess,

This is goodbye.

And then we depart,

Death and I.
