Dear Death

by Matthew Rutland
(Jackson Mississippi )

Dear death, where are you? I've searched high and low far and near and you are nowhere. Dear death, why do they fear you? Can't they see you bring peace? Dear death, where are you? Why do you run from me? The many you take hate you but I know the truth. To some your touch is ice cold but to me it's warmth. Dear death why don't come? Are you really evil? Taking only the ones who aren't ready? Dear death you are a coward hiding and running from your true love. Dear death so you've come...
