Should I welcome her in?
The embrace deep and dark
Leading others astray
But for me, hits the mark
Her expression stays sullen
An indulgence in death
In the quiet of chaos
Till her very last breath

indulgence of death. "Till her very last breath." It seems to me, that you have rejected her; "Death." That you have flirted with her and choose to stay here, with us. I too, think you have talent. Keep writing. ~ Geezer.

I really enjoyed this poem, but I didn't quite understand until Sir G. explained it I took it a different way.
