Death, may I come in?

```

Death, may I come in?

“No, definitely not!

You are a shameless liar;

You are a worthless coward,

An impossible creature!

“Hundreds of times

You have begged of me

To allow you

To enter into my lifeless hall,

And I have given you

My immediate permission.

Yet you have invited fear

To capture your heart.

“No more opportunity

Shall be given to you.

With you I shall not share

My nectar-pleasure

And my silence-treasure,

Never!” ```
