My Poem - Sophie List '19
Death hovers over my shoulder
He sips from my cupped hands
He matches my dance-step for step-
Befriended all my friends
In my youth he Followed me ‘round
Clung to me-a second skin
We grew together-friends and lovers
That line- hazy with Sin
Now frozen in His frigid grasp-
He waited through it all
My ruin was befriending Death
A lifelong friend- my Downfall
