I Am


I hide in the shadows
Live in another's nightmare
Feared by many
There is no escape

When the time is right
I will come for you
You will feel my embrace
Inevitably
Unmistakably
Sometimes I appear
Unknowingly
Surprisingly
Others welcome me
Prematurely
Unnaturally

Oceans of tears are cried
Because of me
Hearts are left broken
Because of me
History is changed
Because of me
Souls are left lost
Because of me
Yet the world
Could not survive
Without me

I am final
I am the end
Perhaps to another beginning
I am death
