Oh Death, I Stared At You In The Face

Death, oh death, why do you invade my thoughts? Death, you think I will call upon thee? no, I am trying so hard not to. why, oh why, when people die, their eyes are open? they stare into space or so we contemplate in deep silence but they just stare at you in amazement, they can't talk back, you think you are a friend when you are a foe. When the time comes, you go, you go silently and stand there as if you were visiting an old friend, you want the ones you come visit and take to just look at your face and they die with their eyes open, you tortorous one. Did I invite you into my thoughts? who told you to come visit me? you are all over me but I won't invite you for a visit, it is too early. You are an independent entity and I am just human. I do not understand you, I command you to leave, I do not wish to look at your face, it is too early in the game, just too tortorous you are. Get out of my brain, Death, I already know what you look like, I looked at you straight in the face years back but you didn't get me, I won over you and now, I order you out of my head, don't you see? God didn't say for you to come and pay me a visit, you took it upon yourself. Death, oh death, eternal peace, leave me be, I know what your countenance is like, just bathe my palms in the rasp of wine and don't come visit me till the time is right.
