Best Friend

“Hello, my name is death,
I’ll be there for your final breath,
I’m going to be your new best friend,
We’ll be together ‘til the end.

“Do you want to know how you will die?
Please best friend, don’t yet cry,
For you will commit suicide,
And then the tears will be cried.

“You say I am wrong,
But I know of the darkness for which you long.
You say you could never do such a thing,
But the darkness is a gift that only I can bring.

“For the cause of death, you can take your pick,
I cannot say if it will be quick,
Only you can decide that, dear best friend,
But I’ll tell you this: coming closer is your end.

“Am I not the best friend of them all?
My gift to you shall not be small.
All I ask is that in your final breath,
You think of me, your best friend death.”
