I hear death
At my door
Rattling
A thousand keys
Trying each one
Lady luck
Don’t desert
Me
Now

My life
My loves
My mistakes
My successes
My happiness
Mingle with
Regret
As
My future
Stares me
In the eyes

The lock clicks
Tumblers’
Falling
Into place
Hinges groan
A cold breeze
Brushes
My face
As it comes
For me
