She knows

When she knocks at your door, 

You swear anything,

you promise anything,

you beg on your knees.

you look around and suggest

others she could take,

worse people.

Worse than you.

when she knocks at your door

she knows you’ll swear anything

she knows you’ll promise anything,

she knows you’ll beg on your knees.

When she looks around she sees,

there is no one worse

no one 

better than you. 

the thing is: 

you don’t earn death.

you don’t avoid death.

It’s not a prize.

Not a punishment.

it’s just nothing...

You can do.
