Death at the door...
Demise doesn't appear so unpleasant.
He appears sincere and friendly.
He doesn't offend you
He takes away the discomfort
You'll be contented with me not here correct?
Or am I being egotistic to take my existence?
You don't care one or the other manner.
I'm a reminiscence
A sleuth
An inaccuracy
A ruthless rumored
An appalling being
I warrant this don't I?
Speak to me I do.
Be straightforward
Discontinue your dishonesty
You placed the death at this point.
You get to be the death angel.
