A night as dark as the petals of a black rose
Wind like ice
All that can be heard is the scurring feet of rats and mice
This night seems more dead than those in buried in a graveyard
Twice as cold
And twice as dark
As the witching hour draws ever nearer
Those close to us seem dearer
Tonight our lives could come to a close
As the sickle of death draws ever clearer
Our minds become tiny jails for our lives
We hide inside ourselves hoping that death will pass us by
As death steals by the door
It seems that hope is gone forever more
But as quickly and quietly as it came
It is gone from our sight but never again from our minds

wow... i love this poem Miss! this is a great way to picture death and not to mention a great description of how one goes about it a lot of the time.
