“Not for Me”

For some reason, this was not death,
Despite the giant scythe on his shoulder, 
He wasn’t what I had in mine when I thought about what he would look like. 


Maybe that was the problem; I worried too much about what he would look like,
And not on when he would come.


So when I saw him on the side of the road, I didn't recognize him. 
Judging that he didn't recognize me, I realized he wasn't there for me. 


But since that day, ive been deathly afraid of people who carry giant scythes on their shoulders.
