Death dark specter shadow follows me
cheating death for so long
Now I face him.
Dropping to my hands and knees
I beg for more time
scream my pleas go unheard.
When I was living visions of death
filled my head.
Now I lay dying waiting deaths cold hands
touch.
Now I am consumed with a will to live.
Death laughs at my pathetic pleas
deaths laughter echos in my head.
Death erased me from the new day
as I lay in a pine box.
My empty shell decays.

I couldn't see the picture at all so I used all the words in the word bank you gave me.
