Death.

Staring me in the eye.

Yet masked and shrouded in misery.

It took away everything from me,

So why not my life?

----------------------------------------------------

I wish it would take me in its embrace

Take the pain within me away.

Away from the war,

The tears,

The lies,

And most of all,

The pain.

----------------------------------------------------

Then again when I saw death,

The brilliant explosion of light and colour,

I died.

And now I am but an empty shell.

Left alone in this cold, dark world.

For that is what death is about.

-------------------------------------------------------

And now it's my turn to play death's part.

To bring death to those who caused my death.

No matter what the cost,

The sacrifice,

It's all worth it.

-------------------------------------------------------

Now I am death.
