I thought there'd be more time.
I had hopes and dreams so big.
But life kept turning on a dime.
Now there's one more grave to dig.
Since this is my end, remember me.
Make sure those I loved know I cared.
Now this is probably a difficult thing to see,
But I'm glad, Stranger, you dared.
I had a family. Kids, a mother, a wife.
They probably wonder why I'm missing.
They don't yet know someone's taken my life.
Stranger, is that a curse or a blessing?
It was nice, Stranger, to meet you.
Even in such a horrible, dreadful way.
When shot in the chest you came through.
With imminent death you kept me at bay.
But I must admit I am frightened
Of what the next life entails.
Yet I'm far to curious, I must be enlightened.
A shrouded mystery I can finally unveil.
I don't wish to leave my family yet.
Wish I'd had the chance to say goodbye.
But if it's my time I won't fret.
I'll happily go to die.
Stranger, I see you there with your smile.
I must admit your comfort is nice.
You already stayed quite a while.
I already lost in life's game of dice.
It's very nice of you to stay though.
Despite the shooter being long gone.
I am honored to die with friend, not foe.
Now I shall face death with a smile and be on.
Speaking of which where might he be?
I never thought him the late type.
I had a minute, now it's been three?
Oh well. Just more mystery to the hype.
I'm rambling though, Stranger, aren't I.
I'm wasting the last of my breath.
I haven't caught your name, I don't know why.
That's when he smiled and said, "I am Death".
