Early morning came a knock on my door
My pleasant slumber refused to leave
I checked the calender and 'oh no'
A bunch of excuses i began to weave
Anticipating my gestures way in advance
The visitor barged in straight in my room
Dressed in a black cloak with a scythe in hand
Darker than the abyss was the face of doom
"We need to hurry we are already late"
'Groggily i said that its not the date'
"Didn't you mark the day as today"
'No i Didn't please leave right away'
"Alas my boy fate can't be changed"
'But hey! Some other time can be arranged'
Death shook his head in grave despair
Since everybody felt its not their time
They wanted to append the wrong they did
They didn't want to leave their loved ones behind
People hated him but he gave peace
He freed the people from the chains of the world
He gave them an option of eternal retreat
But in front of my eyes my entire life swirled
"I haven't even acheived the peak of my life"
'That's your problem dude speak to the knife'
"I have not even said a proper goodbye"
'Now now don't make me look like the bad guy'
Sprawled in my bed my eyes went heavy
My legs just froze like it was stuck in ice
A wild team of horses ran all over me
My death sure came with a heavy price
While death stood waiting, inevitable it was
I decided to give in to his way
But before that i spoke my last dying wish
'5 more minutes ' and i snored away
