Rene' Bennett - Death

Waiting for Death
But He never comes
Though I know
He's visiting someone.

He once knocked on my door
But I wasn't home
Yet, when He left
He wasn't alone.

Instead He visited
My lover, my friend
Then He tried
To visit again.

But again I was gone
So, He went next door
And visited grandma
Then came back once more.

Rearing His head
With anger and hate
Missing me again
But again sealed my fate.

For it was Mom
Who answered the door
So, He took her
To even the score.

So, now here I sit
And wait for that knock
The one I've heard
But never got.

I know He's out there
Visiting someone
And I am still waiting
To be the next one.
