fighting death heads-up

by antwan fields - Aries

as you open your eyes 
and turn to the side
a shadowy figure in black awaits your sighting him
and you feel fear
you never heard him come in.
who...who the hell are you? you stammer
trying to mask your fear 
the figure replies "i am death
and i am here"
he's come for your soul
and your spirt so he can go home
so you say to yourself "this fool's drunk"
and you aim for his dome
but surprise! your hand stops about three inches away
he laughes and you begin to pray 
then he says ive got a deal for you
we box heads-up 
if you win, you get to stay
if i win, you die
so you think, this should be a cakewalk
but he kicks your ass
and as he's dragging you away you think
damn he beat me that fast?
guess what 
he won your soul
you didn't lose that 
you just lost.
everything.
