Come with me

It won’t take but a minute

Come with me

You won’t be gone for long

Follow me

Take my hand and walk

Follow me

Let me guide you through this passage

Talk to me

Are you scared, frightened

Talk to me

It’ll all be over soon

Look at me

We’re done, it’s over

Look at me

You can be free

Listen to me

It happened for a reason

Listen to me

It was just your time

It was just your time

Really like this for some reason!
When I read the first two lines and just wanted to read more. As I read it, it sounded a bit creepy but in a good way.

I also like how it flows through each line and yeah I like it!

Keep up the good work! - TheDarkWriter :)

Hello! :D
I love repetition in poems, it really emphasizes your point! :D Now...on with the review!

Talk to me

This is just my opinion, but I think some punctuation is needed here. Just after 'frightened', I would put a question mark.

It was just your time

It was just your time


I think you should put an "ellipses" (is that what they're called...? xD) after the second 'time'. Like this -
"It was just your time
It was just your time..."
Just my opinion, again, but I would keep the rest of your poem as it is, otherwise it would disrupt your beautiful flow... :)

Other than that, this was great! Fantastic job, and keep writing!

Stay awesome! :D

Hey, Minty here for a review :)

LOVED THIS A LOT! The repetition made the poem a lot more powerful.
I love how in the first few lines

Come with me
It won’t take but a minute
Come with me
You won’t be gone for long
you don't really have any idea what is going on, but the confusion is great.

Then this happens,
We’re done, it’s over
Look at me
You can be free
you finally realize that it is death, which I was like "woah!"

I would recommend seperating the poem into stanzas, to make it easier to read.
My take on the poem (if you care) was that the repetition shows "death" almost desperate for the person to accept him, even as he is taking him away.
Look at me

Listen to me
"death" seem like he is saying "please understand, I have to do this, please don't be mad" and I really like that!

Loved it, keep writing :)

Liked the last part. And the whole poem! I thought it's a creepy poem or something, because I've seen something like this before. But when I read it as a whole, I thought, nope. This is much much better. 9.8/10
