Death stalks it's victim <br />Like Satan surrounds evil <br />Dark clouds begin to form as the first symptom <br />As you begin to slowly lose your soul <br />It will encompass your heart <br />Turning your heart as black as the night sky <br />This is when it will start <br />As it slowly sucks the life and last sigh <br />Death stalks the bully <br />Like God surrounds good <br />It's green vines wrap around you cruelly <br />You can't stop it now, even if you could <br />Death stalks my door <br />As I'm shot and my body and blood hit the floor <br /> <br /> <br />(3/27/07)<br /><br />Stacey Gibbs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/death-sonnet-1/
