My Best Friend - Death

Dedicated to my best friend still on Earth...Who submitted my first poem-"F**k You!!!" and I thank him for that.
Who’s the guy who comes out of the black?
Death
What’s the thing that comes up behind my back?
Death
Who’s the helper who helps me through?
Death
Who’s the brother that makes time move?
Death

What’s the creature with the touch that kills
And the hollow eyes that makes blood spill?
Death, Yes Death

My time is coming, it has almost arrived
Death
This is why I am very "unhappy" in life
Death
I have been waiting on this since the beginning
Death
And when I go, I will only be grinning
Death

Nobody will care, this I know
But with him, I’ll be glad to go
Death, Yes Death

He will be coming, with his cloak and his scythe
Death
He will be coming, to save me from this life
Death
He will be coming and I will be waiting
Death
He will be coming to put an end to my hating

He will come, and take me and us all to our end
And then, only then, will he become my best friend
Death, Yes Death
