You stand in shadows waiting
Knowing I will becoming your way
I can see you standing there
Patiently
I hope you know hate you for this
I hate that you get to decide
When I am done
I hate that I wasn't given that choice
Not because I couldn't
But because You scared me too much
Back then I wanted nothing more
Than to run into your embrace
But now
When I'm starting to bloom
When I've got things going alright
When everything finally is
starting to fall together
You have to come
and ruin it all
I hope you know how much I hate you.
But I suppose that is all irrelevant
I just hope you'll let me say goodbye
I wish to tell my loved ones once more
How much they mean to mean
And to let my friends know
How much they helped
And most of all
I hope you let me see him
One more time
before you take me
Let me say goodbye
Let me feel his warmth once more
I beg that of you above all else.
Then again
I really have no say now do I?
Author notes
Not exactly a poem, but It is what I would say to death at this moment in life. There was a time when I would have welcomed him/her whole heatedly, But that time has passed and I would really rather see where I can go.

Thank You for Your Entry ~
I like raw poetry; from the soul more than anything. It can be difficult when given a prompt to write strictly from within but you have wonderfully here. Captivating and honest this held me from top to bottom
Best of Luck

Stay safe
