Dancing With Death 

Death and I have long danced in the pale moon light 

We dance and dance around each other and flirt back and forth 

Long has she sung her sweet song of oblivion to me 

Several times have I pledged myself to her only to pull back  

At the last moment before the embrace 

Before sealing the deal 

But the one time I gave myself fully 

She spurned me back into the world of the living 

She refused me sweet oblivion 

So, I have spurned her as well like a jilted lover 

Now we stand on opposite ends of the dance hall 

As Life the She devil twirls me around through pain and Joy 

She’s an abusive lover 

Bringing you to the heights of ecstasy 

And the depths of despair 

But I would not trade this lover for another 

Not until the day she finally spurns me and sends me into the arms of her sister 

When Death finally accepts me into her loving arms I shall go to my long-awaited rest 

Cause I’m not going to lie my feet ache and hurt 

Even though I’m still young I tire of my dance with life 

But I won’t end it early 

I’ve already tried once and was rejected 

Sides I mad promises too never do so again 

So, I’ll continue dancing with Life through our odd twists and turns  

As death and I spare glances at each other both of us acting like jaded jilted lovers  

Flirting from across the room
