Waiting For Death <br /> <br />A knock sounds at my door, In breathless anticipation <br />I offer a brief prayer as I cross the floor <br />Mind reeling and my heart in agitation <br />I run with all haste to open the door <br /> <br />Please, please, PLEASE let it be death <br />Will the blessed peace of death, at long last be mine? <br />When I open the door shall I take my last breath <br />Will I finally have my chance to shine <br /> <br />Slowly, the door swings open, only to reveal <br />My old friend misery and I stand aside then usher him in <br />A sigh escapes my lungs, misery has for me, no appeal <br />What in the H is death waiting for? where has he been? <br /> <br />Is he out exchanging some poor soul? <br />Who has been begging and pleading with him <br />For a few more days, offering a huge bankroll? <br />Probably not, death is oblivious as to where you've been <br /> <br />Another knock echos against the wall <br />And once again I race to the door <br />The sweet release of death has come to call <br />I throw open the door to see someone whom I abhor <br /> <br />An old nemesis has arrived, pain has come to wait some more <br />So I sit waiting, praying, and hoping with pain and misery <br />Waiting for death to come, Oh where can he be? <br />When, Oh when will come that knock on my door? <br /> <br />Waiting, hoping and praying he'll come to get me <br /> <br />And so go the days of my life<br /><br />James Casey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/waiting-for-death-8/
