The Familiar Stranger.

I am your one true friend.
The only friend who waits
patiently and faithfully.
Watching all your pain and gain.

I am your one true friend.
The only one who keeps coming
over and over, not minding
how much your family hates me.

I am your one true friend.
The only one who takes you in the end.
The only one you rest
with in peace.
The only one everyone cries for.

Why have you despised me?
Everyone sees me as the enemy.
Everyone thinks of me as cold and dark,
Everyone hates me.

I am your one true friend.
Yet everyone forbids my name,
and dreads my arrival.

I am your one true friend.
True to my promise
which i keep no matter what.

I am your one true friend.
The compulsory end that greets every being.
The only reason you
have funerals and cemetaries.

I am not your enemy.
I am one of the few names
no amnesia can erase.

My name is death but
i wont come to you
till the right time comes.
(whispers)fear not...
