Death

You come as an end
Of a beginning I do not know
You come as the only rule
That has no exception
You come unnoticed
But you leave visibly permanent marks


So precise are your actions
So unpredictable when you come
So sad when you strike
So much a mystery to decipher
So real and here to stay


If you must come one day
To take me to your place
If you know my next home
After this universe
If you must separate me
From my loved ones
If you must leave people crying
And if I must meet you one day
So be it, but one favor
Tell me when.
